Introduction
Important Note: This is not the full Block War supplement. We will be continually adding more material, with your help and guidance, over the next few months! Welcome to Block War, the first supplement for the Judge Dredd miniatures game. Block War is all about expanding your games, in every direction. When complete, it will feature many new factions, lots of new characters for existing forces, more scenarios, and more exciting locations in which to set your battles and campaigns. This supplement will also introduce some new ways of playing games of Judge Dredd, along with some very, very powerful characters and other units. You will be able to charge down Megways at over 200 mph, dodging bullets and zipping in and out of traffic as you take your confrontations to the roads of Mega-City One. Our miniatures range will be expanded to cover all manner of vehicles that you can find in Mega-City One, from the famous Lawmaster bike to massive mo-pads, mobile homes built to solve the citys housing crisis. You will also be able to take part in Block Wars, either as one of two blocks trying to prove which is best, or another force caught up in the riot (brave players might like to try their hand at using judges to arrest everyone involved in a Block War!). New specialist judges are available, along with Pat Wagons and the mighty Manta Prowl Tank to help combat the ever-growing menaces of Mega-City One. And then there are the Dark Judges Whatever elements you decide to draw from Block War to bring into your own games, you will find this supplement supercharged with excitement, bringing new dimensions to your miniatures gaming!
Rulebook Changes and Additions

Equipment
The following changes and clarifications should be applied to the Equipment chapter. Models on Power Boards may also use grenades but may not perform Charge actions.
Cursed Earth Desperadoes
Mutants taking the Armour mutation may wear additional armour however, you must choose to use either the armours score or that of the mutation. You gain a +1 bonus to your Armour score if you combine additional armour with the mutation.
Firebombs
Mercenaries

Replace the text of the firebomb with the following. Powerful incendiary devices, fire bombs are useful tools for burning out enemies buried under cover. After being struck by a fire bomb, regardless of whether any damage was caused, the target must make an Agility check at the start
The Mutant mercenary should have Armour +0.
Fattie Stampede

The following changes and clarifications should be applied to all Fatties. A Fattie may never use a Jetpack, Bat Glider, Power Board, Sucker Gun or Chameleon Suit. They are just too big! A Fattie can ride in a vehicle and will count as a single Crew or Passenger if the vehicle model has been suitably modified/converted. Otherwise a Fattie may not ride in a vehicle unless there is a suitable place on the model for them to sit (such as the flatbed of a Sloth Cargo Hauler and no, they may not sit on the roof!). Fatties cannot use ladders at all, and may only use elevators and grav chutes that are physically large enough for the model!
of each of its phases. If it fails, the flames continue to ravage it, and it will automatically lose a Hit. A successful Agility check will result in the flames dying out. A model on fire must make a successful Will check at the start of its phase in order to take actions normally in its Phase. If it fails, it will automatically perform two Special actions just trying to beat out the flames however, it will also be able to re-roll its Agility check in order to avoid taking more damage that phase.
Permanent Secondment
Sector House squads and patrols have tightly defined parameters that guide which judges are assigned to street duties on a permanent basis. However, Sector Chiefs do have the authority to override these parameters, if they feel there is sufficient cause. Certain specialist judges may work very well with an existing team, for example, or a patrol may be assigned to a very rough part of the sector, necessitating an increase in available firepower. If a Justice Department force takes a Mercenary in a game and they survive, the player may spend twice the amount of Credits the Mercenary is worth and have it attached permanently to his force. However, the Mercenary must be of a lower Level than the highest Levelled model currently in the force. From this point, the Mercenary is considered a permanent member of the force in every way, and may begin to earn Experience Points.
Zombie Horde

The following changes and clarifications should be applied to all models in the Zombie Horde. The Dead Flesh rule is used whenever a zombie suffers damage from any source, not just an attack. The Zombie Master/Mistress has Hits 3 being around zombies makes them tough! Ion addition, they have the new special rule below;
Accurate Trait
This may not be used with weapons that have the Spray special rule.
Rise! Rise my Beauties!: The process of creating zombies is a long, drawn out one, but a powerful Zombie Master/ Mistress can sometimes reanimate a zombie that has been blasted to pieces. As a Special action, the Zombie Master/ Mistress can try to reanimate any zombie that has been destroyed. The zombie must have been destroyed within 6 of the Zombie Master/Mistress current position, in this turn or the last (you might find it handy to lay a destroyed zombie model on its side if you are hoping to do this). Roll a die and add the Zombie Master/Mistress
Level. If the result is more than ten, the zombie model is placed back on the table and will be ready to take actions in the next turn.
Scenarios

The following changes and clarifications should be applied to the Scenarios chapter. Judges do not use the Special Rules in The Mall scenario.
Talents
The following changes and clarifications should be made to Talents. Leg Shot will not work on vehicles (no legs!), but will work on models using Jetpacks, Power Boards and Bat Gliders (it hurts!).
Mercenaries

The Gorilla Gangster should have Shoot +2, Hits 4, and the following Talents: Agile, Dirty Fighting, and Light Foot. All named characters (such as Judge DeMarco, Fergee and Stan Lee) may only be present once in a force.
Equipment
Both criminals and the Justice Department are ever inventive, and there is always some new weapon or gadget appearing on the streets that makes new crimes possible or suppresses them. The weapons and equipment featured in this chapter are useable by all forces able to purchase them, unless otherwise stated.
the armour of a riot squad judge. This has made the rifle an extremely attractive weapon to self-styled judge killers, as well as perps who expect to regularly engage Justice Department personnel.
Heavy Weapons
Pistol Weapons
There is little limit to the imagination of either weapons manufacturers or bored citizen tinkerers, and heavy weapons often benefit as a result. Shooting Weapon Range Dice Flame- 8 6D thrower
Easy to conceal and yet capable of packing a great deal of firepower, pistol weapons are extremely versatile. WeapShooting DamSpecial on Range Dice age AP Rules Cost Cursed 15 1D 1 -2 Limited 20 Earth Ammo Eagle 1
DamSpecial age AP Rules Cost 1 +0 Spray 30
Cursed Earth Eagle: Manufactured in Texas City, the Cursed Earth Eagle is considered by most perps to be the most powerful hand gun ever designed, though some alleged experts are quick to cite various Sovmade weapons for this honour. The extremely large calibre used by this hand gun allows it to literally blast an enemy apart, whatever armour he is wearing, but also serves to make the weapon extremely intimidating to any citizen finding himself at the wrong end of the barrel. The large shells employed, however, severely limit the amount of ammunition that can be carried in a single magazine, and so the Cursed Earth Eagle is rarely used in extended firefights.
Flamethrower: Despite a range that means the user almost always has to expose himself to incoming fire, the flamethrower is nonetheless a much-feared weapon. The flamethrower is likely to incapacitate any target it hits, and will keep burning long after the initial attack. After being struck by a flamethrower, regardless of whether any damage was caused, the target must make an Agility check at the start of each of its phases. If it fails, the flames continue to ravage it, and it will automatically lose a Hit. A successful Agility check will result in the flames dying out. A model on fire must make a successful Will check at the start of its phase in order to take actions normally in its Phase. If it fails, it will automatically perform two Special actions just trying to beat out the flames however, it will also be able to re-roll its Agility check in order to avoid taking more damage that phase.
Rifle Weapons
When involved in heavy combat, there is very little that beats a good rifle weapon. ShooWeapting on Range Dice High 36 1D Velocity Rifle

DamSpecial age AP Rules Cost 1 -4 Complex 50
With varying degrees of legality, there are many items, common and rare, that perps have put to use in their criminal activities. Suction Pads (20 cr.): Often incorporated into some of the latest kneepad fashions, these are simple suction pads that strap to a citizens knees and hands, allowing him to climb sheer surfaces with relative ease. A model with suction pads can perform one Move action every turn to move straight up a vertical surface.
High Velocity Rifle: Though designed for accuracy at range, the incredible velocities at which this rifle propels its relatively small shells is sufficient to penetrate even
Cybernetics
The citizens of Mega-City One are demanding, and the many medtech companies of the city strive hard to service their every cybernetic need. Bionic Eyes (50 cr.): Once considered a breakthrough in science, bionic eyes are now commonplace. Even the basic models will restore lost sight (removing the Shoot penalty for head injuries), offer screen-in-screen vid streams and allow colour changes to the iris on the fly. Advanced Bionic Eyes (300 cr.): The most expensive bionic eyes offer low-light vision and telescopic focus, offering perfect vision no matter the circumstances. Even neural links to advanced weapons are possible, projecting targeting data directly to the eye. Advanced Bionic Eyes grant the model a +1 bonus to all Shooting Dice for all weapons that cost 50 Credits or more.

Anti-Personnel Rotary Cannon: The forerunner of the street cannon, this weapon used to be mounted on Justice Department vehicles. In recent years, suitably equipped with advanced stabilisation systems, it is now more typically found in the hands of Heavy Weapons units within the Justice Department. Lazooka: A shoulder-mounted weapon employed by judges against heavily armoured targets, the Lazooka is a high-powered laser weapon that requires time to build up enough energy to fire however, when it finally unleashes its blast, there are few armoured vehicles that can continue undamaged.
The Justice Department

There are many weapons and pieces of equipment that, in theory, only the Justice Department has access to. The Lawgiver sidearm is a good example, a highly sophisticated pistol that can only be fired by its registered user. Note that equipment listed here does not come with a Credits value, as it can only be obtained by purchasing models already equipped with it.
Vehicles
There are a bewildering array of vehicles on the streets and in the skies of Mega-City One. This list presents just a few of the most common, and players are encouraged to create their own.
Armour
Close Combat Weapons
Justice Department doctrine stresses dealing with major threats at a distance but this is not always possible. A variety of specialist weapons have been developed to deal with enemies when things get up close and personal. Weapon Silver Boot Knife Damage 1 AP -1 Special Rules
Specialist divisions of the Justice Department sometimes require armour that has features beyond the standard issue of the Street Judges. Armour Lightweight Armour Space Corps Armour Armour +4 +6
Silver Boot Knife: Designed for use by exorcist judges, this boot knife has a pure silver blade. It has a Damage score of 2 when used against any demonic entity or model possessed by a demon.
Lightweight Armour: Typically found among the ranks of judges in the Med- and Tek-Divisions, lightweight armour is a cheap alternative to standard issue, where frontline combat is not expected. It comes with shoulder and knee pads, along with a helmet, but the latter does not include a respirator. Space Corps Armour: Providing the equivalent protection of riot armour, the equipment used by the Space Corps has a lot more built-in functions, including not only a respirator but a fully enclosed environment that allows the wearer to survive in the cold vacuum of space for up to a day.
Support Weapons
The vehicles and Sector House emplacements of the Justice Department feature some fearsome weaponry, fulfilling the judges role as military protector, as well as lawkeeper.
The BritCit Justice Department

Just like the Justice Department of Mega-City One, the judges of Brit-Cit can rely on a number of specialised weapons and items of equipment when taking to the streets. Some equipment used by Brit-Cit judges is more or less identical to that used by the judges of Mega-City One, and uses the same rules. These include standard issue armour and boot knives. The truncheon is identical to a daystick. As with Mega-City One, equipment listed here does not come with a Credits value, as it can only be obtained by purchasing models already equipped with it.

Close Combat Weapons
The judges (and, indeed, people) of Brit-Cit have always had a special affinity with getting in close to an enemy and beating them up! Weapon Broadsword Claymore Damage 2 3 AP -2 -2 Special Rules Parry Smasher
PC 101 Handgun: The primary handgun in service with the Brit-Cit Justice Department. The PalmerCoventry Model 101 is a compact pistol with single and semiautomatic fire modes. It fires Standard Execution rounds from a 20-shot magazine but, at the flick of a switch, this can be changed to Armour Piercing, the latter stored in an auxiliary magazine slotted into in the handgrip. The PC 101 is equipped with a night scope and a theft prevention sensor that automatically melts the pistols internal workings if anybody other than the programmed judge attempts to fire it. Skean-dDhu Blaster: The standard firearm of a Cal Hab judge, the skean-dhu is a large calibre pistol, capable of loading two types of ammunition. Shorter in range but packing a harder punch than the Lawgiver, the Standard Execution round is a solid, high penetration shell. The Bouncer bullet is a soft, plastirubber pellet. Ammunition is carried in large clips slotting into the handgrip. Each magazine holds one type of shell, therefore the user must perform a Ready action if he wishes to switch to the other ammunition. Bouncer: Similar to the Rubber Ricochet of Mega-City One, this shell will bounce from solid surfaces, potentially allowing it to hit a target multiple times. When used against a target within a structure, Bouncer rounds gain an extra 5 Shooting Dice and the Spray special rule.
Broadsword: A basket handled, three-foot long sword carried by the Cal Hab judges. The Cal Hab broadsword means business; well balanced and razor sharp, it is perfectly capable of acting as a stabbing or slashing weapon. Broadswords are elaborately designed with a decorated hilt and handguard. Claymore: Ancient in design but still lethal in use, the claymore is a five-foot long, two-handed blade carried by the whiskey clans and other traditionalist Cal Habbers. Menacing and intimidating but extremely heavy and difficult to wield, the claymore is often regarded as a ceremonial weapon and a badge of honour.
Pistol and Rifle Weapons
While the Lawgiver is famed throughout the world and defines the judges of Mega-City One, Brit-Cit judges have their own weapons.
Armour
Bumf Gun: This is a non-lethal rifle that fires zonk shells in a two-shot semi-automatic mode. If an attack by a bumf gun is successful, instead of deducting a Hit, the target must instead make a Will check. If this is failed, roll one dice. The model is placed prone and will not be able to take any actions for this many turns as the powerful intoxicants of the zonk shell render them helpless.
A variety of armours have been developed to protect BritCit judges in various divisions, according to the threats they may face. Armour Armoured Trench Coat Armour +4
Armoured Trench Coat: This shin length trench coat worn by detective judges and Special Branch operatives
Iron Lion
The traditional mode of transport for the beat judge, the Iron Lion is built by criminals sentenced to Coventry Prison as part of their daily chores. Stoptack tyres give excellent traction on a variety of surfaces and a bank of hi-power wide-screen headlamps illuminate entire lanes of traffic.

East Meg Equipment

The judges of East Meg enjoy a better-than-average set of equipment, though it is not always the equal of that in Mega-City One, and higher technologies tend to be found only among higher-ranking members of the Diktatorat.. Some equipment used by east Meg judges is more or less identical to that used by the judges of Mega-City One, and uses the same rules. These include standard issue armour, daysticks and boot knives. As with Mega-City One, equipment listed here does not come with a Credits value, as it can only be obtained by purchasing models already equipped with it.

Krashnikov 97 Carbine: The forerunner of the Krashnikov 99 sidearm, the 97 is bulkier and used like a rifle. However, it retains greater energy reserves, allowing it to discharge more powerful energy pulses and faster rapid-firing Standard Execution rounds. Krashnikov 99 Sidearm: The East Meg equivalent to the Lawgiver, the 99 is less sophisticated, with fewer options for rounds but is at least as capable and, in some cases, more powerful. As well as Standard Execution rounds, the 99 is capable of discharging powerful energy pulses that can blast through armour and disable even tough targets. However, it takes time for the weapon to charge up, forcing East meg judges to predict when best to use it.
Pistol and Rifle Weapons
East Meg judges are given all the tools they need to completely subjugate Mega-City One.

Satellats
Satellats are hovering robots designed for both bodyguard and reconnaissance duties. They are granted to highranking East Meg officers and, occasionally, to exceptional senior judges who have proved themselves loyal to the state above and beyond what is normally expected. Equipped with an integrated offensive laser and advanced sensors, the Satellat has saved the lives of many officials, often from assassination attempts launched by rival comrades!
So long as the Satellat is present, both it and the character it follows automatically go on Alert Status every turn, regardless of what actions they have performed. If they take no actions in the turn, they can make an unlimited number of reactions instead of just one each. Satellats can be targeted by Shoot and Melee attacks like any other model. It may only perform Melee actions itself if it is already locked in a close combat. If a Satellat is removed as a casualty, it is automatically destroyed
Using Satellats
A Satellat can be purchased for some characters in the East Meg Invasion Force. The Satellat model moves at the same time as the character it is purchased for and always remains within 4 of him. As well as moving automatically with its character, the Satellat can also use one Shoot action in every turn. This is performed at the same time as the actions of the character it follows. The Satellat has the following characteristics. Move Agility +2 Shoot +0 Melee -2
Heavy Satellats
At the outset of the Apocalypse War and invasion of Mega-City One, a heavier class of Satellat was developed, specifically for the battlefield conditions officers and senior judges were expected to face.

Block War Forces

We presented a wide range of possible forces to use in the main rulebook. Block War adds a new selection of forces, representing some of the deadlier elements found in Mega-City One and beyond. All of these forces are used in the same way as those in the main rulebook. You have 500 Credits from which to buy models and equipment from the Force List you chose and you must purchase at least one Hero to lead your force.

Brit-Cit Justice Department

The Brit-Cit Justice Department, officially referred to as Her Majestys Justice Department (HMJD), maintains law and order in and around Brit-Cit. It is led by the Chief Judiciary and answerable to Parliament. The judges of BritCit share much in common with their counterparts in Mega-City One, having similar uniforms and close diplomatic ties. However, the two have many differences in operational procedure and administration. Brit-Cit judges are more lenient in their approach to crime and spend as much time buried in paperwork as they do patrolling the streets of their sector. The largest difference between the judges of Brit-Cit and Mega-City one is their salary Brit-Cit judges are paid to uphold the law. When their shifts are over, the judges return to their flats and families, and may even take annual holidays. The Brit-Cit Justice Department is not immune to the privileges that come with wealth and ancestry and, with enough money, a judge can buy himself any promotion short of a seat on the Chief Judiciary. A force of Brit-Cit judges will be very well equipped and able to handle most situations. They are ideal if you like the judges of Mega-City One, but are looking for something with a slightly different flavour.
Beat Judge
The beat judges are at the forefront of the Brit-Cit Justice Department, cruising the streets on their Iron Lion motorcycles and Avenger patrol cars. Beat judges are respected by the citys citizens and feared by the criminals who dare oppose them. They spend eleven years training to become a judge and then work the rest of their careers in a number of Sector Stations.

The target may leave close combat in its turn without any penalties for fleeing.

The Citi-Def
The typical view of the Citi-Def soldier is of a man who barely knows one end of a spit gun from the other and, pumped up on action vids on the Tri-D, attempts to live out his fantasies by joining the only military option open to citizens. In many cases this is remarkably accurate and the Citi-Def is a source of constant worry to the Justice Department, for allowing citizens legal access to weaponry surely courts disaster. A force of Citi-Def soldiers will not be the most competent in Mega-City One, but they do have access to armour and heavy weapons that can make them very scary as much to one another as any enemy!
Citi-Def Officer
The Citi-Def officer is different from the soldiers he commands. He is not a weekend warrior living out his action-hero dreams but a career soldier dedicated to the protection of the city. It is his responsibility, as a guardian of Mega-City One, to ensure his fellow citizens do not suffer invasion as they have in the past. In all likelihood, it is the Citi-Def officer who has organised the latest block war, simply to provide real-world training for his men Melee Move Agility Shoot Melee Dice Will Armour Citi-Def 5 +0 +1 +0 2D +1 +5 Officer

Citi-Def Medtech

Citi-Def soldiers sign up for one of three reasons; either they are bored from their long days of unemployment, have a deep patriotic sense to defend Mega-City One, or have watched far too many action-vids.

Jaeger Squad Commando
Not all Citi-Def units have a Jaeger squad but those who do include such men in their ranks are often considered to be elite forces (elite being a relative term). Each member of the Jaeger squad is a full-time Citi-Def soldier who has dedicated himself to protecting his block against all enemies. Training hard in infiltration skills and the disruption of communications, the Jaeger squad is as close to a true commando unit as any Citi-Def is likely to get.

East Meg Inv asion Force

After years of meticulous planning, Supreme Judge Bulgarin of East Meg One launched the Apocalypse War against Mega-City One. Through the use of nukes, the Apocalypse Shield and a full scale invasion under Warmarshal Kazan, Mega-City One was subjugated quickly, with half of its 800 million citizens killed. Through the heroic actions of a handful of judges, Mega-City One was able to finally win the war, destroying East Meg One in the process. However, there are many in East Meg Two who plan revenge against the west An East Meg Invasion Force is designed to eradicate all resistance in Mega-City One. With well-equipped and welltrained judges, not to mention the dreaded Sentenoids, it is very much an elite force. Invaders: These East Meg judges are a long way from home. Despite being judges, they are fighting as invaders, with orders to crush all resistance. They are not required to make Arrest checks before opening fire on an enemy model.

Apocal ypse W ar Resistance Unit

The East Meg invasion during the Apocalypse War had Mega-City One against the ropes, and fighting on the streets was desperate. Normal rules and Laws broke down as the judges tried to scrape together any measure of resistance against the invaders, forming small ad hoc units that operated autonomously by necessity. Comprising judges, and what few citizens and Citi-Def who had not succumbed to Block Mania, these units fought many heroic actions always outnumbered, and forever lacking proper equipment, resources and ammunition. An Apocalypse War Resistance Unit is a mixed force featuring elite judges and lowly punks working together to beat the Sovs! It is suitable for players who like a challenge on the tabletop, and perhaps want their judges looking battered and dirty, rather than in pristine uniforms! Special thanks to Da Boss and Locarno24 for their ideas on this force! Click. Oh, Grud!: The resistance unit is always short on ammunition and supplies can never be counted upon. Whenever a model rolls a 1 on a Shooting Dice, complete its current Shoot action. However, it then runs out of ammunition for that weapon, and may not use it again for the rest of the battle. The Accurate trait may not be used to re-roll this! Scavengers: Any model may be purchased a Krashnikov 99 sidearm for +50 Credits, a Krashnikov 97 carbine for +70 Credits, or a Flamethrower for +25 Credits. East Meg Propaganda: Millions of hypno-pamphlets were dropped onto Mega-City One by the invasion force, encouraging citizens to welcome the Sov judges with open arms. Every model in this force that is not a judge or Mercenary must roll one die before the game starts. On a 1 or a 2, they have been influenced by a hypno-pamphlet and suffer a 2 penalty to all Will checks.

Demonic Cabal
There are many things beyond science that it is perhaps better that Man does not know. However, you can never account for the boredom of the average citizen in Mega-City One, nor the horrors they will uncover during a lifetime of unemployment. Sometimes a warlock of no mean skill stumbles on ancient and terrible tomes that promise unbridled power. Recruiting like-minded citizens to the cause, the new cabal will set about summoning rituals designed to bring them ultimate power but which may end up consuming the very core of their souls The Demonic Cabal is a suitable force for anyone who likes their games a little less predictable. Sometimes you will find everything works out for you and summonings go off without a hitch. During other fights, you may find your cabalists are their own worst enemy! The Summoning: Demonic cabals exist for summoning demons. However, this process is rarely straightforward. Demonic cabals must purchase one or more demonic pacts in order to perform a summoning. Each demonic pact may only be used successfully once in a game, though any number of summonings may be attempted. The grand warlock must always lead a summoning, by performing two Special Actions in the same turn. He may be aided by any number of cabalists who must perform at least one Special Action before the grand warlock performs his in the same turn. They must also be within 2 of the grand warlock. A demonic pact is chosen, and then a die is rolled, comparing the result to the table below. The grand warlock adds both his Will score and his Hero level to this roll. For each cabalist, roll one die. On a 5 or more, the cabalist adds +1 to this roll. On a 4 or less, they deduct 1 from it. If a major entity is being summoned, an additional 5 penalty is applied to the die roll. Roll 1 or less 2 Result Hellfire! Effect The grand warlock becomes a conduit for the raw energies of other dimensions. Roll a die the grand warlock takes that many Hits. Hellfire The grand warlock becomes a conduit for the raw energies of other dimensions but Upon Thee! manages to direct them to his cabalists. Roll a die any cabalists within 2 of the grand warlock have that many Hits distributed between them. We Did Not A completely different entity appears. Roll a die. On a 7 or less, it is a minor entity, on Mean You! a 8 or more it is a major entity. Roll two dice it is placed this many inches away from the grand warlock. At the start of every turn, both players roll a die. The highest will take control of the entity in their turn. Umm Nothing happens. The summoning is not successful. Possessed! The summoning is successful after a fashion. Pick one cabalist involved in the summoning. He is now possessed by the entity and replaces three of his characteristics with those of the entity. At the end of the game, he will automatically be counted as a casualty. Possessed! The summoning is successful maybe. The nearest enemy model and the grand warlock must both make Will checks. If the grand warlock rolls a higher total, the enemy model has become possessed! He replaces three of his characteristics with those of the entity and comes under the control of the demonic cabal player. At the end of the game, he will automatically be counted as a casualty. Master! Urk! The summoning is successful, but the entity is angry at having been disturbed. Place it within 6 of the grand warlock. It then immediately comes under the control of the opposing player. Master! The summoning is successful. Place the entity within 6 of the grand warlock. From the next turn, it may take actions normally.

A mobster force is very flexible and can gain access to very high powered weaponry and specialists. This force list replaces that found in the main rulebook.

The Dark Judges

Hailing from another dimension where life itself was judged to be a crime, the Dark Judges are possibly the worst threat that has ever befallen Mega-City One. They cannot be killed and have made the decision to bring their own brand of justice to the city. Despite being beaten back several times, they still represent utter peril for the city and each appearance is marked with massive death tolls that only seem to grow larger each time.
Using the Dark Judges
If you select the Dark Judges, you do not get 500 Credits to buy models and equipment instead you get all four Dark Judges, as detailed below! However, there is no requirement for you to use all four every game, and individuals often go off and do their own thing. When you play against another force, come to an agreement with your opponent, and either reduce the number of Dark Judges to suit the total value of his force, or allow him to add Mercenaries to match yours, or agree to meet in the middle. The Dark Judges may never be purchased new equipment or weapons (just keep on counting the Credits as they come in!) but can earn experience, gaining new levels and Talents, as normal.
Not of This World: The Dark Judges care not for the judges of Mega-City One (or any other city!), and Arrest checks are not needed against them, and they will automatically resist all attempts to do so. In addition, the Dark Judges will roll a die for every Hit they sustain. On the roll of a 3 or more, the Hit is completely ignored. Finally, all Dark Judges have the Mind Shield Psi Talent active at all times this cannot be removed by a Battle of Wills. Possession: The Dark Judges can never be truly killed. When reduced to 0 Hits, replace their models with their spirit form. The spirit form may only perform Move or Special actions and is a Flyer with a Move score of 6 and Hits 6. All other characteristics remain the same as for the Dark Judge the spirit form came from. The spirit form is immune to all forms of attack except Psi Talents. If the spirit form is reduced to 0 Hits, the Dark Judge will dissipate to rebuild its strength (and will be back another day!). Remove it as a casualty but do not make any injury roll.
A spirit form may try to possess any model within 1 with a Special action. Both models make opposed Will checks and, if the spirit form wins, the enemy is automatically killed and replaced with a model of the Dark Judge. The Dark Judge is restored to full Hits and, from the next turn onwards, may take actions normally. We Have Arrived: If their player so wishes, the Dark Judges need not be placed on the table at the start of the fight. Instead, they may be placed anywhere on the table within 4 of one another and at least 12 from any enemy model at the start of the first turn. We Will Return: The Dark Judges will endure a great deal of punishment but even they know when to retreat and marshal their strength. They take Will to Fight checks as normal, and their spirit forms do not count when totalling up how many models they have remaining on the table.

Judge Death
Once a judge on Deadworld, another dimension whose inhabitants he sentenced to death, Judge Death arrived in Mega-City One determined to bring his justice with him.

If he succeeds in causing damage, the two models must make opposed Will checks. If Judge Fear wins, his opponent is automatically reduced to 0 Hits.

New Rules
This chapter contains a selection of new rules designed for use with the forces in Block War, and should be applied to all games of Judge Dredd.
Being Shot At
Mob Rules
Some special scenarios allow you to field Mobs, a collection of models that represent rioting citizen, hordes of zombies, tribes of mutants or anything else you can imagine that may attack en masse! A Mob is simply a collection of Minions that operate together as a single unit. A Mob obeys the following rules. A Mob must start the game with at least five Minions. There is no maximum number of Minions that can be put into a Mob! Every model in the Mob must always move so it is within 1 of at least one other model in the same Mob. Every model in the Mob always takes the same actions in effect, the Mob takes two actions per turn, rather than every individual model within it. Every Minion in the Mob must be equipped with the same weapons, armour and equipment. Not every model need have the same weapons, armour and equipment, though the majority should. A Mob does not take any Will to Fight checks until it is reduced to five models or less.
Mobs are attacked in the same way as single models, with one Minion removed from the Mob every time a number of Hits is scored equal to the Hits of the Minions to a maximum of one model per Shooting Dice. These Hits must be scored in a single attack, and spare hits are not recorded or carried over into other attacks. The closest modes in the Mob to the attacker will be removed as a casualty first, then the next closest, and so on. A Mob will only count as being in Cover if at least half of its models are within Cover.
Melee Actions
Mobs fight in close combat as single models, using the rules for Ganging Up when they can engage the same target. They are free to engage several targets in a single Melee action, with different models attacking different targets but they must always stay within 1 of another model in the Mob as they do this. If, through casualties or other means a model ends up further than 1 away from the rest of the Mob, it must move to join the Mob at the first opportunity, even if this means Fleeing Close Combat.
Move Actions
If a Mob crosses Difficult or Dangerous terrain, only those models in those terrain types will be affected by it. So, it is possible for some models to move normally, while others may be slowed down by Difficult terrain. However, every model in the Mob must stay within 1 of at least one other.
Special Actions
If a Mob performs a Special action, every model in the Mob must use that Special action to accomplish the same task if a model is unable to for any reason, it will simply stand still (probably shouting encouragement at its friends, or insults at the judges!).
Shoot Actions
Arrests
A Mob makes shooting attacks in the same way as a single model, with whatever weapons it is carrying. With every Shoot action, it makes a single shooting attack against a single target. However, it will add one Shooting Dice to this attack for every model in the Mob that is within range and Line of Sight to the target. Note that models within the Mob will block Line of Sight to other models in the Mob, so those at the back will have trouble attacking anything to the front.
A Mob may not be arrested under normal circumstances, though some judges may have Talents that allow them to do so.
Leading Mobs

A single Hero may lead a Mob. He counts as being part of the Mob in every way except for the following. A Heros attacks are always worked out separately. He does not add Shooting Dice to the rest of the
47
Mob, and nor does the Mob add Shooting Dice to his attacks. He must follow the same actions as the rest of the Mob (in effect, the Mob is copying what he is doing) but may fire different weapons at different targets if he wishes. The Mob may use the Heros Will score for any Arrest and Will to Fight checks. The Hero may not be picked out by an enemys shooting attack. However, if he is the closest model to the attacker, he will be hit as normal.
Weapon Special Rules

A variety of new weapons are presented in Block War, some of which require additional special rules. Limited Ammo X: This weapon has a small power pack or magazine, or uses ammunition that is extremely hard to find, meaning the user cannot count on always having a ready response in a fire fight. Whenever the model rolls as many natural 1s when making a shooting attack as the Limited Ammo score, the weapon has run out of ammunition and cannot be used for the rest of the battle.
Mobs in Campaigns
If a player has five or more Minions equipped the same way in his force, he may group them into a Mob at any time. By the same token, identical Minion Mercenaries may also be grouped into Mobs. Injuries and payment for Minions and Mercenaries are done as normal, regardless of whether the models were in a Mob or not. Some scenarios pit a force against hordes essentially, several Mobs. In these cases, the scenario will list how many Mobs are present and what models they use, and will also give a Credit value for the force that opposes them. If the players force is less than this Credit value (and it should be facing a horde is when reinforcements should definitely be used!), they may take Mercenaries as normal.
Battle of Wills
Psykers and other models that use Psychic Talents often engage in a Battle of Wills, where one tries to disrupt the powers of the other. To enter a Battle of Wills, one model with a Psi score performs a Special action and selects one enemy model with a Psi score within 24. No Line of Sight is required. Both models then make an opposed Will check. The winner of this Will check may force his opponent to do one of the following. Remove one Psychic Talent that is currently in use. The Psychic Talent may be used in subsequent turns if it is performed again. Stop any Psychic Talents being used for the rest of the turn. Stop any Battle of Wills being initiated for the rest of the turn.

A Hero may only summon one entity at a time.

Vehicles
It does not take long for a common street punk to figure out that if guns are good, guns fired from a vehicle are even better. Many gangs will buy or steal a set of bikes or a ground car to carry them across their territory, responding to other forces trying to muscle in on their turf and providing greater protection when a firefight breaks out. Vehicles are treated in the same way as any other model, except for the rules stated below.
Characteristics
Vehicles have similar characteristics as other models. A ground car is detailed below as an example.
Ground Car
Move 12 Agility +0 Ramming Dice 2D Front Armour 3 Side Armour 2 Rear Armour 2 Hits 4
Type: Medium Ground Vehicle Crew: 1 driver, 3 passengers Equipment: None Agility: As well as being used to avoid attacks, Agility is also used as a bonus or penalty to avoid obstacles. Ramming Dice: This is how many dice the vehicle rolls when it rams or drives over another model. Armour: This is treated in the same way as for other models, but is divided between front, side and rear facings. Type: This tells you the broad classification of the vehicle. Different vehicles sometimes react to the rules in different ways. Crew: This lists the minimum crew a vehicle needs to operate effectively, as well as how many passengers can be transported. Equipment: Any additional equipment carried by the vehicle is noted here. Additional equipment is covered under Modifications. Weapons mounted on vehicles are treated in the same way as those on other models, except they have a restricted fire arcs, which match those of armour facings. The High Intensity Laser Cannon of the Manta Prowl Tank is shown below as an example.
Weapon High Intensity Laser Cannon Range 72 Fire Arc Turret Shooting Dice 1D Damage 8 AP -5 Special
54
Facings and Fire Arcs
All vehicles have four facings covering their front, two sides and rear, as shown in the diagram below.
A model making an attack on a vehicle will face the armour on the facing it is within. By the same token, weapons mounted on a vehicle may only fire into the fire arcs listed for them. Weapons mounted with a Turret fire arc are free to fire into any fire arc.
Movement
Front
Vehicles cannot normally operate themselves they need at least a driver, along with another model for each weapon they want to fire in a turn. Vehicles can therefore not take any actions unless they have models on board crewing them.
Drivers
left
right
This is the minimum a vehicle needs. Once per turn, an onboard model acting as a vehicles driver may use one of his own Move actions each turn to move the vehicle instead of himself. A vehicle that has been given a Move action may be moved up to its Move in a straight line. It may make one 45o turn at any point in this movement. Vehicles with an Agility of +3 or more may make a single 90o turn instead. A vehicle may reverse in the same way, but its Move will be halved while it does so. Vehicles cannot cross Difficult terrain unless they are listed as being Large Ground Vehicles or any type of Hover Vehicle. Impassable and Dangerous terrain are treated as normal.

Combat
Just as a vehicle cannot move without a driver, it cannot use its weapons without gunners. A model on board the vehicle may act as a gunner for one of the vehicles weapons. Any Shoot actions he performs may be instead applied to the vehicle weapon he is currently crewing. All attacks must be made against targets within the weapons stated fire arc. Vehicles are attacked in the same way as other models, but all successful hits will be met by the Armour on the facing being attacked, as shown in the previous example. A driver may use a Shoot action to fire any weapon that is restricted to the Front fire arc only (he may not use a Turret weapon). However, despite being much tougher than the average citizen, vehicles are also a complex collection of mechanical parts and computers, neither of which respond well to incoming damage. If a vehicle suffers a critical hit, not only is the Damage it suffers doubled as normal, but a roll must be made on the table below for every critical hit sustained. Add the Damage score of the weapon that hit the vehicle (do not double this) to the die roll.
section of a vehicle (such as within a convertible ground car or in the back of a flatbed truck) can fire freely. Such models can shoot at any target within a Line of Sight to the window or hatch.

A vehicle that moved more than 10 the last time its driver took his actions cannot be attacked by a Charge action unless the attacker also moves at least as far in its Charge action as the vehicle did in its previous Move action it is simply moving too fast. If a vehicle is moving slower than this, close combat attacks can be made normally but the vehicle never rolls any Melee Dice. Models on board a vehicle may not make close combat attacks until they disembark.
Ramming
Vehicles have a lot of inertia within them and anything that gets struck by a moving vehicle is going to know it! If a vehicle moves onto another model (be it an enemy force member or another vehicle), both it and its target make opposed Agility checks. If the target model succeeds, move it to one side and allow the vehicle to continue its movement. If the vehicle succeeds, a ram has occurred! If a model has been rammed, the vehicle rolls its Ramming Dice. Add +2 to each Ramming Dice if the vehicle is Large, and +5 if the vehicle is Massive. Every Ramming Dice that rolls equal to or more than the models Armour score will remove one Hit. If the model survives, move it to one side and allow the vehicle to carry on with its movement. A vehicle may only attempt to ram any one model once in each turn.
Personal Weapons
Any model on board a vehicle may use a window or hatch to fire any weapons it carries itself. There are many different vehicles on the streets of Mega-City One, and players will have to judge for themselves whether a vehicle has suitable places to fire from. As a guide, one model can fire from each hatch or window, and all models in an open Dice Roll 3 or less Critical Hit Control Loss
4 5 6-7 8 9 10 11 12 or more
Passenger Hit Power Plant Damaged Weapon Loss Power Plant Failure Multiple Weapon Loss Catastrophic Control Loss On Fire! Boom!
Effect If the vehicle moved the last time its driver took his actions, it immediately moves forward half its Move, makes a turn (roll a die, 1-5 left, 6-10 right) and then moves the rest of its Move. Randomly choose one model on board the vehicle. That model loses one Hit. The vehicle has its Move halved. This critical hit may be applied multiple times. One randomly chosen weapon mounted on the vehicle is destroyed. Roll a die. The vehicle grinds forward this many inches (to a maximum of its current Move) then stops permanently. Roll a die. The vehicle loses this many weapons, randomly determined. The vehicle moves as shown under Control Loss for the rest of the battle. The vehicle is on fire. Roll a die at the start of every turn. On a 1 or a 2, it immediately explodes, with the effects of Boom! Below. The vehicle immediately explodes and is destroyed. This cannot be repaired by any means. Any models on board must roll a number of dice equal to the vehicles starting Hits. For every dice that rolls 6 or more, the model loses one Hit.
56
If a vehicle is rammed, both vehicles roll their Ramming Dice, applying the modifiers for being Large or Massive if applicable. Every Ramming Dice that rolls equal to or more than the other vehicles Armour score (using the Armour facing the ram) will remove one Hit. In addition, roll a die for every Hit taken; on a 6 or more, the vehicle also sustains a critical hit. If the vehicle being rammed is the same size or larger than the ramming vehicle, the ramming vehicle must immediately stop its movement. Otherwise, the smaller vehicle is moved to one side and the ramming vehicle may continue its movement.
If subjected to a shooting attack, roll a die. On a 1-6, a Small Bike will be hit, and on a 7 or more its rider will be. On a, 1-7, a Medium Bike will be hit and on an 8 or more, its rider will be. If subject to a Shooting attack from an Explosive weapon, both bike and rider will be hit. If subjected to a close combat attack, the attacker can choose to strike the bike or the rider. A model moving onto a bike without crew must still perform a Special action as normal before he can drive it or use its weapons.
Terror on the Megway
Collisions
It is possible for vehicles to accidentally collide with Impassable terrain, such as if they lose control from critical hits. In such a case, the vehicle will be treated as if it had been rammed by itself. It cannot avoid the collision and will face as many Ramming Dice as it normally uses itself in a ram.
These rules allow you to use vehicles in any scenario or firefight. However, vehicles can also be used in high speed pursuits on the millions of miles of roads and Megways that twist and turn throughout Mega-City One. The speeds traffic normally goes in the city make this a great deal more dangerous but a lot more exciting! Rules for battles on Megways are covered in the next chapter.
Using Vehicles as Transport
To board a vehicle, a model need simply move onto it with a Move action. However, there must be a spare crew or passenger place available and no enemy models may be on board. The model is then immediately considered to be a passenger. To occupy a crew position (such as gunner or driver), it must perform a Special action. A model may be moved between crew positions, or to and from crew and passenger positions by it performing a Special action at any time.
Vehicles in Campaigns
The following rules should be used when introducing vehicles to a campaign.
Buying or Acquiring
There are two ways to give an existing force vehicles. They may be purchased, deducting their cost in Credits from the balance of the force. Vehicles that are purchased in this way may be modified as described below. Alternatively, vehicles may be acquired. For many forces, this means stealing on, while the Justice Department will requisition them from the nearest Sector House. Either way, the vehicle is a temporary feature of the force and will disappear after the next battle is fought. If vehicles are being acquired in this way, they may be bought in the same way as Mercenaries, using their Credits cost to even up an unequal fight, though vehicles will not cost the force anything after the battle has been fought. If both players are keen to use vehicles but do not have any in their force (appropriate if they are playing a Terror on the Megway game for the first time), then they may agree to a budget that may be spent on vehicles for the next battle. Vehicles acquired on this temporary basis may never be modified.
Leaving a Vehicle
A model may leave the vehicle at any time simply by performing a Move action (not a Charge action). Its movement is measured from any part of the vehicle. However, if the vehicle moved the last time its driver took his actions, the model will count as having fallen a distance equal to the distance the vehicle moved so be careful!
Bikes
Bikes are treated in the same way as vehicles, with the following exceptions. They may make any number of turns when moving but may not reverse. Bikes have only one Armour score, which is used against all attacks. If a bike is listed as having no room for passengers, it may still take one passenger but that model may not take any actions except a Move action to leave the bike. Bikes may cross Difficult terrain in the same way as other models.
Repairing
After a battle has been fought, all critical hits are automatically repaired. Lost Hits may be repaired at a cost of 1/10th of the vehicles starting cost, rounding up, per Hit.
57
Modifications
Whether it is by a grease monkey known to a street gang or within the workshops of a Sector House, overseen by senior tek-judges, many forces find the need to modify their vehicles, adapting them to suit their mission profiles or specific crime sprees. A vehicle can have a maximum number of modifications equal to their Hits score. Modifications can be removed for no cost but they cannot be transferred between vehicles once removed, they are lost for good. Unless otherwise stated, all modifications except weapon mounts may only be added once to each vehicle. A vehicle that has a number of modifications equal to half its Hits or more will lose 25% of its Move, rounding up. Each modification listed below has a Credits cost listed (costs listed as a fraction of the vehicles cost are taken from the vehicles starting, not modified, cost), and some take up more space than a single Hit provides. All modifications made to a vehicle must be represented on the model, giving you a chance to get creative and create a truly unique force!
Light Weapon Mount x2 Weapon Cost This is a simple pintle weapons mount that may accept any rifle weapon (which must be paid for separately). A firing arc must be chosen for this mount. Medium Weapon Mount x2 Weapon Cost This is a simple pintle weapons mount that may accept any heavy weapon (which must be paid for separately). A firing arc must be chosen for this mount. This mount takes two Hits of space. Heavy Weapon Mount x2 Weapon Cost This is a simple pintle weapons mount that may accept any support weapon (which must be paid for separately). A firing arc must be chosen for this mount. This mount takes three Hits of space. Turret Mount Special An existing weapon mount may be converted into a turret (giving it the Turret fire arc). This costs the same as the weapon mount being upgraded (including the weapon itself) and takes up double the Hits of space required (so, a turret-mounted support weapon would need six Hits in total). Twin-Linked Mount x2 Weapon Cost For greater efficiency and firepower, a weapons mount may be doubled up by fitting a second, identical weapon that fires at the same time as the first. This takes up the same number of Hits the weapon mount used in when first fitted. Heavy Armour Vehicle Cost Additional armour plating is added to the vehicle, allowing it to increase all Armour scores by +1 or just the Front facing Armour by +2. It takes up a number of Hits as the highest Armour score on the vehicle before the modification is made. Structural Reinforcement Vehicle Cost Additional braces and separate armoured compartments are added to the vehicle, greatly increasing its durability. The vehicle gains +1 Hits for every 5 Hits it started with. This Hit may be used to fit an additional modification. Turbo Boost Vehicle Cost The power plant of the vehicle is heavily overhauled and a multitude of Performance parts are fitted. The vehicle may move a maximum distance equal to its Move +25%, but it may not turn while it does so.
Weapon Mounts
Weapon mounts placed in the side firing arcs of a vehicle must be added in pairs so, if you add a weapon mount to the Left side, you must also add one to the Right. There is no requirement for the weapons in these paired mounts to be of the same type, but the weapon mounts themselves must be of the same size. Autopilot 50 Credits By installing a robot brain, a vehicle may drive itself simply by following the voice commands of those on board. So long as there is at least one model on board the vehicle, the vehicle may perform a free Move action every turn. Advanced Autopilot 50 Credits + Vehicle Cost A truly advanced system, incorporating several computer sub-systems, servos and gyroscopic stabilisers, this autopilot grants the vehicle one free Move and Shoot action every turn, so long as at least one friendly model is on the table. Models are not required to be on board the vehicle for the advanced autopilot to function.

The Slabster is reasonably well featured for its price and includes many additions such as the Electro Lite security system normally found on far more expensive models.

General DT-10 Humber Mo-Pad
An older mo-pad, the DT-10 gives a lot to newer models in terms of size and comfort, though it is still able to keep up to the minimum speed limits on the Megway, where most examples spend their entire working lives. The interior can be described as basic and the autopilot is notoriously unreliable in emergency situations, forcing drivers to at least be present in the cramped cockpit at all times. However, owners tend to scrape and save every credit they can find in order to upgrade the autopilot and better equip the living quarters.

It does, of course, lack the armour and weaponry that make the Lawmaster so lethal, and also gives a lot to advanced computer control systems. Its sleek fairings are designed for pure speed and even in a city jaded with the appearance of yet another latest thing, it is clear that Otomo have another winner on their hands, provided their clientele can be convinced to hand over the credits.

The following vehicles may be used by the Justice Department and Caligulas Personal Retinue only. The Lawmaster Mk III replaces the entry in the main rulebook.
Banshee Pursuit Interceptor
The Banshee is reputed to be the fastest land vehicle in Mega-City One, for the highly skilled drivers of the Pursuit Squad must use the Banshee to chase and apprehend illegal speedsters and hot-rodders along the citys Megways. Banshees have Whitestream engines capable of amazing speeds, Firerock Plus tyres for added traction and durability, plus aerodynamic fins to help reduce drag and force the Banshee to hug the ground, preventing it from flipping at high speed. An onboard computer called the Safe-Driver (nicknamed Speed Demon by Banshee drivers) can augment the pursuit squad judges driving skills should he require it.

Deadkey Cannon: If this weapon scores a successful hit on a vehicle, no Hits are deducted. Instead, roll one die. On a 9 or less, the Power Plant Damaged critical hit is applied immediately. If a 10 is rolled, apply the Power Plant Failure critical hit instead. Tractor Gun: This weapon may only be used against a vehicles Rear facing. If it causes a Hit on a vehicle, it will be joined to the vehicle by a reinforced chain. The Banshee will automatically (and only) move when the target vehicle does and will always remain within 6 or less (as determined by the Banshees player). If the target vehicle is of Medium size, the Banshees player may opt to halve its Move. If the target vehicle is of Small size, the Banshees player may opt to reduce its Move to 0. While attached in this way, any shooting attacks made from the banshee gain a +2 bonus to hit. The Banshee player may detach the tractor gun by the driver or passenger performing a Special action. The target vehicle will be automatically detached with no further effect if the Banshee is destroyed.

Fire Wagon Mk III
The fire wagon is a modified Mk III Pat Wagon with its armour and weaponry removed to make space for advanced firefighting equipment. The street cannon is replaced with a high-pressure fire foam jet capable of quenching vehicle fires and, when combined with other fire trucks, can even tame raging block infernos. Generally crewed by civilian firefighters, judge fire squads also exist in every sector. Ramming Dice 5D Front Armour 5 Side Armour 4 Rear Armour 4

Manta Prowl Tank
The Manta Prowl Tank was the Justice Departments answer to a growing crime wave. Often regarded as a mobile floating fortress of anti-crime measures, the Manta can strike fear into the heart of the most desperate perp and is fully capable of dealing with entire riots by itself. With clear skies, the Manta can reach great speed and features a Peterson High Intensity Laser Cannon with adjustable wide beam mode, stumm gas dispensers and riot foam jets as its primary armament; allowing it to tackle anything from an angry mob to the most heavily armoured vehicle. In addition, the Manta is also armed with two twin-linked fast action anti-personnel lasers and can be further modified with heavier weaponry as the situation demands, potentially making them the equal of any battle tank in terms of firepower. On board holding cells can imprison up to thirty perps. Two pilots control its great bulk with exceptional agility, while four street judges constantly monitor on-board scanners for any sign of local crime, ready to take the Law to perps outside upon Lawmasters stored within the Mantas forward bay. There are also compartments that allow on-board tek- and med-judges to function effectively, while more street judges monitor the holding cells, communications and weapon systems of the tank. Overall command is given to a senior judge. With such awesome capability wrapped into one heavily armoured hull, the Manta Prowl Tank is an outward symbol of the judges absolute authority within Mega-City One.

After the Lawmaster, the Mk III Pat Wagon is the most commonly sighted Justice Department vehicle seen on the streets of Mega-City One. Designed to be flexible enough to bring the Law to citizen riots and armoured perps, as well as fulfil the grunt work of catch and meat wagon teams, the Mk III Pat Wagon is well respected amongst the judges for being able to take just about any punishment the streets can give.

Campaigns
The Judge Dredd miniatures game includes a simple campaign system that allows players to take any force against another while building up their heroes, with no requirements or conditions you simply pick your opponent and go! This abstract style of campaign is great for club play as players can drop in and out as they wish. However, some groups may prefer to play more technical campaigns where forces are fighting over actual territories and locations in Mega-City One. The more territory a force controls, the more powerful it will become in the campaign! be completely wiped out in any fight, though a player may choose to retire his force at any time and start with a fresh one, created with 500 credits as normal and starting with a new Initial Territory.
Rep
For a force in Mega-City One, reputation is everything. A successful force will find ordinary citizens are easier to bully and the criminal underworld will be far more willing to do favors for them (or get out of their way of they are judges!). This is reflected by players finding it easier to recruit more specialised force members and gaining access to better equipment on the black market. Every force member has an individual Rep score. This score is 1 + Hero Levels. So, Minions have a Rep of 1, a Level 1 Hero has a Rep of 2, and so forth. The Rep of every force member is then totaled together and, along with a few other modifiers we will cover (such as Rep gained from owning certain Territories and winning or losing fights), this becomes the forces overall Rep.
Beginning a Campaign
To start the campaign, you will need two or more players. You will find the more players you have, the better, so it is a good idea to take a trip down to your local games store and find out which gaming clubs are running in your area. Every player must have enough miniatures for at least one force, though there is no limit to the number of forces any one player may have. Every force in the campaign represents a group vieng for control of Mega-City One. A force is created normally with 500 credits, using the rules in the Creating a Force chapter in the main rulebook. Each force also begin with an Initial Territory (see pXX). Throughout a campaign, forces will challenge one another and fight for dominance. Those that do well will increase their reputation and number territories while others will fall by the wayside and find themselves having to redouble their efforts just to survive. Only two players are required to start a campaign but new players may be added at any time. It does not matter how large and powerful the existing forces have become, as the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game game has several ways for players of lesser forces to compete against more successful ones. It is also incredibly hard for a force to
Running a Campaign
Once all the players involved in a campaign have created their forces, they can then begin fighting with their opponents. To do so, all a player need do is choose a scenario (such as those starting on pg 78 of the core rulebook) and challenge another player. A challenge may never be refused, as the rival force is assumed to be marching into the others territory, roughing up their contacts, stealing credits and generally being a large nuisance to that force. All the two players need do then is arrange a time and place to meet and then fight! It is entirely possible that a player may receive two or more challenges simultaneously. He is free to decide which challenges to meet in any order he likes. Because of this, one player may end up playing a lot more fights
68
than anyone else. For example, some players turn up to a club night every week without fail while others may have other commitments which force them to miss every other week. This is perfectly fine, as players need not worry about any force becoming much more powerful than themselves there are always ways to equalise fights in the Judge Dredd miniatures game. A campaign may run for days, weeks or months indeed it may have no defined end if all the players concerned are having fun fighting one another! If you want a final winner in a campaign, choose a set time limit (one, two or three months is recommended) for the campaign to finish. The winner of the campaign could be the player whose force has the highest Credits Value or the highest level Hero(es) or simply the most wins. At this point, players may decide to continue playing (with another victory condition in mind) or they may start a new campaign with entirely new forces.
1. Injuries Any long lasting injuries sustained by force members must be marked down on the Force Log Sheet, along with any permanent effects, as detailed on page 77 of the core rulebook. A player may automatically remove any force member from his force during this time, effectively retiring him. This is usually done when a force member has become too seriously injured to be effective in fights, though it can be done for any reason (maybe punishing a model for always rolling 1s!). If the forces last Hero is killed or retired after a fight, a Minion of the players choice will be automatically promoted to Hero status. The model immediately becomes a Level 1 Hero as described on page 49 of the core rulebook 2. Reputation The victorious force of a fight will gain a permanent +1 bonus to its Rep. The losing force will suffer a 1 penalty instead. A forces Rep score may never drop below 1. If you were fighting a force with a higher Rep than yours, you will receive a further bonus for having the nerve to stand up to someone far more powerful. If you won the fight, you gain a bonus to your Rep equal to half the difference between your forces overall Rep score and that of your opponents, rounding down. This is in addition to the normal +1 bonus for winning the fight. This may make a weaker player think about not taking Mercenaries so he gets a higher boost in Rep at the end of the battle! If you lose a fight with a force whose Rep was double yours or higher, you do not lose any Rep from the fight. Instead, roll a die and halve the result, rounding down. You receive that many points as a bonus to your Rep instead. 3. Experience Models receive Experience Points as described on page 48 of the core rulebook as normal. 4. Territories The victorious force of a fight rolls a die. On a roll of 6 or more, they add a new Territory, reflecting their increased power and influence. This Territory is rolled for randomly on the table below and may immediately be used to generate Credits and earn any other listed benefits. No force can own more than 10 Territories.
Mercenaries
Mercenaries are used in the same way as described on page 84 of the core rulebook. Mercenaries will add their Rep (calculated in the same way as for your own models, so Rep 1 for a Minion Mercenary, Rep 2 for a Level 1 Hero Mercenary, etc) to that of your force for the current battle only. You will lose this Rep immediately after the battle is complete.
After Each Fight

After two forces have fought in a scenario, they will retire back to their hideouts/headquarters/Sector House to lick their wounds and count their blessings. At the end of each fight, both forces must go through the following checklist. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Injuries Reputation Experience Territories Credits Recruiting Purchases Issue a New Challenge
69
It is possible for a force to lose Territories but only through certain scenarios or by swapping one with a newly gained Territory. Unlike force members, you can not voluntarily choose to give up any Territory. Turf Grab: If one force challenges another to the Turf Grab scenario and wins, the losing force must give up one Territory of its choice and pass it to the winner. 5. Credits All forces gain a regular income from their Territory. This, after all, is what being in a force is all about forces will engage in a number of activities, from simple protection rackets and muggings to contract killings and umpty bagging. The Justice Department gains benefits from controlling Territories in the form of citizens feeling protected, and possibly becoming informants (keeping citizens safe is also the whole point of the judges being there in the first place!). Every Territory a force possesses has a Credit value attached to it. This is the number of Credits a force receives from the Territory after every fight. Territory, however, has to be managed. Shop keepers will not simply hand over their hard earned credits unless a group of punks can be spared to go down to their store and begin hassling them in front of customers. Informants will not give details unless someone is spared to meet with them and provide protection, and if judges are not present to patrol the streets, perps will run riot. A force may have a maximum of ten Territories at any one time but it may only manage (that is, receive Credits from) a number based on how many force members it has even the judges have to worry about available manpower! The number of force members required to look after Territories is shown below. Force Members 2 or less 3-5 6-8 9-10 11-12 13-14 15 or more Territories Managed 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
any special benefits it gives you in addition to Credits however, its bonus to your forces Rep will remain unaffected. If you fought a force with a higher Rep than yours, you will gain a 10% bonus to the Credits you receive after the fight as the citizens in the Territories you control will gain a new respect for you. If you win a fight against a force with 50% more Rep than your force, you will receive an additional 10% bonus to Credits on top. 6. Recruiting Once you have more Credits at your disposal, you may begin thinking about recruiting more members for your force. After all, there is always strength in numbers. New Minions and Heroes can be purchased from your force list as normal. 7. Making Purchases Once recruitment has been completed, you may purchase new equipment as normal for your force members, buying new items for new members or upgrading to better and more powerful things. You are also free to sell items onto the black market, either those you no longer have a use for or those stolen from other forces in certain scenarios. Items of equipment may be sold for one quarter of their listed value. Yes, this is indeed a rip-off but your fences have to make a profit too! Players who do not have Justice Department forces are free to sell equipment to each other, even if they have just fought one another, at any price they choose to agree upon. 8. Issue a New Challenge At this point, you will have completed all the steps required for a force between fights and may now make a new challenge!
Hostages
If a force is victorious in a fight, it may have a chance to capture injured models from the other force and hold them to ransom. This can be a matter of great pride between forces, especially if a particularly useful force member has been caught. The victorious player may roll a die for every model on the opposing side that was removed from play due to injury (but not if they died). On a roll of 9 or more, he has successfully located the model and may take it
If you do not have enough force members to manage all your Territories, you may select which to receive Credits from. If a Territory is not managed, you will also lose
70
back to his hideout before sending a suitably insulting ransom note to its player. Alternatively, the player may want to simply kill the model, p[erhaps out of revenge! He is free to take any and all equipment the model is carrying (unless it is a Mercenary) and add it to his own force (remember a Lawgiver may not be used by anyone except its judge!). Any number of credits or Territories can be demanded for the hostages release the hostages player has to decide whether the model is worth the cost to get back. The hostage can be held for any amount of time between fights until an agreement can be made. Finally, if the model has a Rep score of at least 10, the player taking the hostage gains a +1 bonus to his forces Rep if he does not simply kill the model. This bonus is lost if the player chooses to kill the hostage model at a later date.
Initial Territory (+100 Credits)
This is a city block, an underground bunker, a cursed earth town, a restaurant or even a Sector House. This is the forces home Territory. Income is steady due to constant operations run with the knowledge that little will threaten their safety.
City Block (+150 Credits)
Territories
Though it starts with only its own special area for its territory, a force can rapidly expand across an entire sector as it wins more and more fights against its rivals. So long as every Territory can be managed by sufficient numbers of force members, they can provide a steady source of income from which the player can oversee the regular upgrading of equipment belonging to all his force members. Once a force has earned a new Territory, roll two dice on the table below in order to determine what the new Territory actually is.
Dice Total Turf Acquired
Here, the force will have taken over several apartments to use as a base and stash their ill-gotten gains. Small store owners in the blocks many minor malls will be subjected to protection rackets and no citizen living here will dare walk the corridors alone for they will quickly fall prey to punks and juves acting as a tap force. Expanding forces may find they are able to dominate other nearby blocks. While city blocks provide only a relatively small amount of income, it is very steady and the block itself can act as a good strong point from which to fight other forces. Lawful forces have citizens who will willingly give information, will give aid and attempt to make life easier for their member.
Medtech Clinic (+50 Credits)
Whether in the crime business or the crime-busting business, one place force members will always end up is in hospital. When a force is able to befriend/ extort/buyout a clinic the employees will be pressured to give benefits to their new owners. Force members will receive better care than usual and it is more likely the staff will cover up for a member, saving them from serving cube time. After all, can a judge really arrest a person for tripping on the pedway and landing on a bullet? After a fight you can ignore one arrest for each Medtech Clinic you own. After a fight you can heal up to two characteristic penalties caused by injuries.

Juve Centre (+50 Credits)
There are many social workers in Mega-City One who stress the need to channel the energy and curiosity of the younger population into useful talents, rather than just letting them drift into boredom and crime. Thus, juve centres were set up, places where juves could come and go as they wished, enjoying a wide range of leisure and educational facilities. Unfortunately, when you get that many juves together, a hotbed of petty crime develops despite the best intentions of the social workers. A force controlling a juve center will find the petty crime does not generate a great deal of hard cash
71
but it does train the juves inside very well for force life. A force with a managed juve centre replace a dead or retired Minion for free. This does not count equipment, only the cost of recruiting the Minion itself.
Palais-de-Boing (+200 Credits)
After every fight, you may take one item of equipment with a value or no more than 25 Credits absolutely free. Roll a die every time you take a piece of equipment from this Territory. On a roll of a 1, the Ruined Block has been scrounged of everything useful. You no longer gain any equipment or Credits from this Territory.
The only place in Mega-City One where citizens can Boing legally, the franchised Palais-de-Boing is an impressive addition to any sector. However, the licensing and costs of running such a place can be ruinous. It is only by the continual reinvention of new Boing games and tournaments that a force can hope to make any profit on this Territory though some will often try to shave costs by cutting back on the budget for safety equipment. . .
Shopping Mall (+0 Credits)
Pirate Tri-D Station (+150 Credits)
Shopping malls are a juves nirvana, as there are constant distractions, from the mugging of Old Age Citizens and shoplifting to fighting with juves from other blocks. A cunning top dog will take advantage of this, sending his juves to the shopping mall to engage in constant petty crime. Judges will use these areas to train less experienced personnel to combat juve tap gangs and extortion rackets. As well as providing a healthy income, it also gives the youngsters some vital experience in (anti)criminal activities. For every model you are able to send to the shopping mall, above and beyond those required to manage this Territory, you gain +20 credits.
Theoretically needing only basic equipment and a few small rooms, pirate Tri-D stations plague the airwaves of Mega-City One and can soon generate a huge cult following. Entire blocks can be inhabited by the production teams and their fans, all keen to watch the latest sick and illegal game show or brutal style justice broadcast live. If the force currently has a hostage while the Tri-D station is being managed, double the income from this Territory. Roll a die after every fight, with a 2 penalty if you lost the fight. On a 1 or less, the station is compromised and shut down. You lose this Territory.
Shuggy Hall (+0 Credits)
There is little more a force can do to improve its standing in the criminal underworld than to open a shuggy hall with an attendant gambling den. Though gambling establishments are highly illegal in Mega-City One, they give a force a highly visible presence (not always desirable) and are capable of bringing in a lot of credits. Perversely, they have to be run fairly honestly, as the patrons are often big-time mobsters whom even the toughest street force would be advised not to cheat. Roll a die after every fight (adding +1 if you won), then roll a second (adding +1 if you lost the last fight) and deduct its result from the first. Multiply the final total by 100. This is the amount of Credits you gain (or lose!) from the Shuggy Hall.
Ruined Block (+50 Credits)
There are many ruined blocks in Mega-City One, remnants of the Apocalypse War and Necropolis or simply falling into disuse because of a lack of funds from the Housing Department. Searching through the ruins is a time-consuming operation, not least because a watch has to be kept out for scavengers and mutated vermin, as well as constant judge patrols but all sorts of useful junk can be located with diligence hard cash, old weaponry, vid-slugs or other discarded items from years past.
Smokatorium (+75 Credits)
The only place in Mega-City One where smoking is still legal, smokatoriums are a favorite haunt of many force members and a truce often exists in such places, allowing even rival forces entrance so long as they pay the fee. Owning and controlling a smokatorium can prove to be very lucrative.
72
Smugglers Route (+100 Credits)
In a city where almost everything remotely dangerous or addictive is illegal, smuggling is a time-honoured practice and it is not just hardened criminals that smugglers sell to even the most law-abiding citizen may have a secret sugar habit that they are willing to pay for. The force has started to operate as small-time smugglers, whether purchasing spare cargo space on interstellar transports, developing contacts on the docks of the Black Atlantic or having spied a gap in the defenses on the crumbling Cursed Earth Wall. After every fight you may buy one weapon or item of equipment for half its normal price.
For every model you are able to send to the shopping mall, above and beyond those required to manage this Territory, you gain +30 credits.
Umpty Factory (+one dice x 100 Credits)
Tweenblock Plaza (+0 Credits)
Umpty candy is the most addictive known substance in the galaxy, bar none. There is nothing actually harmful about it it is simply confectionery. However, those who go without umpty for long soon develop withdrawal symptoms and so, predictably, it was made illegal. Overnight, a huge industry of backstreet umpty factories began producing knock-off candy, which their baggers targeted primarily at juves, thus forming a captive market. The production of umpty is one of the most profitable enterprises a street force can get into but it guarantees anyone arrested with any connection to it will be in the iso cubes for a very long time. Roll one die at the start of each battle, deducting 1 if you have a higher Rep than the force you are about to fight. If you roll a 2 or less, your enemies immediately gain an extra 25% of your force value in Credits to be spent on Mecenaries.
Where an ordinary citizen may just see pedways and transport tubes between two city blocks, others see a place of golden opportunity. A tweenblock plaza is literally the space between two city blocks. It is a constant hive of activity as citizens go about their lives, travelling around Mega-City One to take advantage of special money-off offers on Grot Pots that are not available in their own block. Small vendors hawk their wares along the pedways and constant taxi and airbus services put the whole of the city at a citizens feet.
Organ Leggers (+200 Credits)
The force has started its own Organ Legging business. Even in the future, organs are a rare commodity for saving lives as resyk has first call on all deceased, while synthesised and cloned organs are extremely expensive. Once after every fight, you may heal up two characteristic penalties due to injury in one location, no matter how long ago they were caused. After every fight, roll two dice. If the result is a double, the judges come down hard on you, widespread corruption causes the operation to fall apart, or powerful alien criminals muscle in on your business. You lose this Territory immediately.
Mechanics Shop (+20 Credits)
There is little illegal about a Mechanics Shop and there is little money to be made in fixing or changing stolen futuristic vehicles made with super cheap materials. There is a bright side though; you make friends with the local robots. You can hire use Mercenary that has the term robot or droid in its title. Vehicle Modifications can be made for half their usual price.

Scenarios
Block W ar
It can take the simplest imagined slight to spark a block war, a citizens riot where the inhabitants of two or more blocks fight one another to prove who is best! The Justice Department reacts swiftly to any brewing block war as, left to their own devices, citizens are capable of billions of credits of damage it has even been known for a block to be destroyed, burying thousands under plascrete rubble as it collapses.
Forces
In a two player game, one player has their normal campaign force, while the other controls the rioting citizens. In this case, the campaign force will be confronting the citizens before they reach the enemy block. In a three player game, two players each have their own horde of rioting citizens (the two opposing blocks), while the third controls his campaign force! All players should agree a Credit value for this game that limits how many models every side may take. 2,000 Credits should give you a good starting point, if you have a healthy mix of Citi-Def, punks and juves. Larger numbers of Citi-Def (or just a large model collection!) will allow you to field more and you will find games still roll along quite smoothly just do not be surprised if you find yourself facing Manta Prowl Tanks! The player(s) controlling rioting citizens purchase their models from the list of forces below and assemble them into Mobs. Mercenaries from the forces listed below may also be used, to a limit of one Mercenary per Mob. Remember, all Minions within a Mob must be equipped identically. Street Gang Citi-Def Squad Sky Surfers (only one Mob may comprise Sky Surfers)
Set Up
The rioting citizens deploy their forces first (if there are two players with rioting citizens, they should both roll a dice, with the lowest deploying first).
Special Rules
None.
Victory Conditions Options
The fight continues until all the models in one (or two in a three player game!) force have been removed from the table, either through injury or failure of Will to Fight. The remaining force is the victor.
You are free to vary the force used in this scenario. For example, you might have a game where a Justice Department force is facing down a Fattie stampede during Food Riots (a few dozen fatties on the charge would be a truly magnificent sight!). Alternatively, perhaps the local street gangs have banded together, and have decided to wipe out all the apes in a neighbouring hab there are endless opportunities for mass carnage in Mega-City One!

Zombie Apocal ypse!

Be it Judgement Day or just another bad Graveyard Shift in Mega-City One, an outbreak of zombies is a very real occurrence, and must be put down as quickly as possible. The zombies have formed a never-ending horde and the only real chance of survival is for them to be pushed back!
Forces
One player has their normal campaign force, while the other controls the zombies. The players should agree a Credit value for this game that limits how many models every side may take. This should probably be based on the number of zombie models you have to hand. Each zombie costs 30 points, and is identical to the one featured in the rulebook on page 43. If you have 50 zombies in your collection, that is good for a 1,500 point game! The zombies are then assembled into Mobs. In addition, for every 500 Credits limiting the forces, a zombie mistress can be purchased, equipped as the zombie player sees fit. Note that in this scenario, you can have more than one zombie mistress, and you may purchase extra levels for them (to a maximum of 10) at a cost of +25 points per level.
Set Up
The defending force deploys its models first, followed by the zombies. The defending force may place obstacles within its deployment area, so long as they do not stretch for as total of more than half the width of the deployment area.
Special Rules
Every time a zombie Mob is completely wiped out, put it to one side. It will return again at the start of the next turn, from any table edge except that of the defending force.
Victory Conditions
The fight continues until either all models in the defending force have been removed from the table, either through injury or failure of Will to Fight, or the zombies are forced back/destroyed until the only zombies left are within 12 of their long table edge.
76
The Final Last Stand

Sometimes, things just go wrong. What should have been a decent, stand up fight goes badly, forcing one side back into a defensive position. Holed up and expecting the worst, they must confront and defend against an entire horde of attackers, surviving long enough to be rescued or, at least, remembered.
Forces
One player has their normal campaign force, while the other controls the attacking horde. The players should agree a Credit value for this game that limits how many models every side may take. You should have a horde of at least 3,000 points for best effect. The defending force gets half this amount. The attacking horde should be drawn from one of the following force lists. All Minions must be in Mobs, but any available options may be purchased for any model. Mercenaries may also be selected from the force list chosen, to a maximum of one Mercenary per Mob. Ape Gang East Meg Invasion Force Street Gang Cursed Earth Desperadoes Renegade Robots Zombie Horde
Set Up
The defending force deploys its models first. The defending force may place obstacles along the edge of its deployment area. The attacking horde moves onto the table from any table edges it chooses in the first turn. The attacking horde has the first turn.
Special Rules
None.
Victory Conditions
The fight continues until either all models in the defending force have been removed from the table, either through injury or failure of Will to Fight, or the game reaches the end of the 12th turn. If the defending force has at least one model on the table after that, it may claim a victory. Otherwise, victory goes to the horde.
Options
While this battle could just as easily take place in Mega-City One (perhaps a group of judges have been cut off from the rest of their unit and some angry punks have found them), it is very much suited for battles in the Cursed Earth, perhaps in defence of a small township
77
Heist!
A bank, wealthy con-apt or a bustling knee-pad stall has provided a too-tempting target for a gang of perps, and they have successfully broken in to grab some ill-gotten goods. However, their actions have not gone unnoticed and a rival force (either judges responding to the break-in or another group of perps protecting their own interests) have arrived on the scene. A fight breaks out as the perps try to escape!
Forces Set Up
Both players have equal forces in this battle. The attacking force is the one trying to carry off the stolen goods.
The attacking force begins by deploying all its models first. All models must be placed inside or within the structure placed in the centre of the table. The defending force then places all its models at least 18 away from any model in the attacking force. The attacker takes the first Phase of the game.
Special Rules
Each attacking model should be given one counter to represent stolen goods. If the model is removed as a casualty, its counter will remain in place and may be picked up by any other attacking model that moves over it.
Victory Conditions
The fight continues until all the models in one of the forces have been removed from the table, through injury, failure of Will to Fight, or by voluntarily leaving the table. Once this happens, count up how many counters were carried off any table edge by attacking models. If more than half of the starting number of counters have been carried off, the attacking force is the victor. Otherwise, victory belongs to the defending force.
78
Scrawl W ar
Two rival forces have decided to mark their territory the old fashioned way by scrawling their tags on the most prominent places in the area! Unfortunately, they have both chosen to do this in the same territory on the same day, and a fight breaks out to establish who is the dominant force.
Forces Set Up
Both players have equal forces in this battle, and neither player is considered to be the attacker.
To begin with, each player takes turns to place two counters on the table to represent prominent areas begging to be scrawled. These must be placed no closer than 8 from any counter already placed. Players should also choose points on the table that are notable in some way perhaps a statue, shop, or a very high point. Both players roll a dice, the lowest deploying all their models first. The highest rolling player deploys all his models second. Both players may set up no further than 12 from their table edge, as shown on the map below. Both players roll a dice. The player who rolls the highest takes the first Phase of the game.
Special Rules
A model may leave a scrawl by performing a Special Action when in contact with a counter. If the opposing force has already left a scrawl on this location, then performing two Special Actions will allow the model to erase their scrawl, then leave one of his own to claim ownership of the counter. In this way, counters may change sides several times during the game.
Victory Conditions
The fight continues until all the models in one of the forces have been removed from the table, either through injury or failure of Will to Fight. Once this happens, count up how many counters each force has successfully scrawled. If one force has more than the other, they are the victors. If both forces have the same amount, then the force that still has at least one model on the table is the victor.
79
Block Wars
Mass civil disturbance occurs everyday in Mega-City One, driven by the mass overcrowding of the population and high unemployment rates. Citizens may rally against the lack of jobs, the authority of the judges or the death of a well-known Tri-D soap character it does not take a lot to trigger a mob instinct that can result in thousands of deaths and millions of credits worth of damage. Every sector suffers, though some have a disturbing reputation for both the regularity and intensity of riots and block wars that rampage through the streets. It is the nightmare of every judge on the force to be confronted with one hundred thousand rioting citizens without available back up and many study hard in preparation for the day in which they may find themselves in exactly this position. Judge Dredd has the power, reputation and authority to arrest an entire block but this is an option few judges are able to successfully exercise and most die trying. Only a combination of teamwork, back up and sheer courage may see a judge through what is probably the very worst Mega-City One can throw at him. What may start as a simple knife fight between two gang leaders to determine who has right of access to a munce burger bar, hideout or pedway can quickly devolve into a mass brawl. As firearms are brought out, the death toll rapidly increases. Other juves and street gangs may join in, carefully picking their allies and unleashing everything they have at their enemies. If judges are not called to the scene in very short order, vehicles, bombs and missile launchers may be unleashed into the carnage, threatening everyone nearby. However, judges should be warned that the participants of rumbles are notoriously fickle, especially if they comprise in the main of juves. As soon as the judges arrive in force, the combatants of the rumble may well unite almost instantaneously against the judicial response, forming temporary alliances in order to battle against the force they all truly hate the Justice Department. So long as experienced judges arrive on the scene of a rumble quickly, they can usually be contained within minutes for those who lack Judge Dredds impressive authority, a single Manta Prowl Tank can instantly quell any such disturbance. All that will remain is to identify the gang leaders, sentence all lawbreakers and detail clean-up squads to deal with the mess that remains.
Rumbles
Typically the preserve of juves and young punks, a rumble is the description commonly given to any running street fight involving one or more sides targeting each other. It is also the term applied to the regular small-scale battles that take place between rival street gangs seeking to force one another from the area. Rumbles are relatively small affairs usually involving less than one hundred citizens on each side though the sheer amount of damage that can be caused far outweighs the number of combatants. The gangs taking part are often deadly rivals looking for the slightest excuse to go to war and destroy their longterm enemies. Because of this, rumbles take an incredibly personal edge and can escalate rapidly as temporary alliances with other gangs are forged and broken, and increasingly heavier weaponry and ordnance is brought into play as the stakes rise. Many judges may be tempted to simply leave street gangs and juves to tear themselves apart though any experienced judicial personnel will advise that this is an extremely hazardous course of action. Things may seem safe enough as perps hammer each other into unconsciousness in some deserted part of the sector but all too quickly firearms and heavy weaponry may be brought into action and the rumble can spread unbelievably fast into crowded population centres. A rumble can cause a significant amount of collateral damage as both property and innocent citizens get caught up in a lethal crossfire.
80
Riots
Citizens enjoy complaining for it is one of the few legal past times that costs no credits. The danger for the Justice Department is that such complaints tend to become selfperpetuating and what might start as a tirade from one citizen against all the unfairness in his life can soon develop into an illegal parade of thousands of citizens. Once this many are on the move, all simultaneously demonstrating against the same perceived injustice, trouble is inevitable. This is the reason the Justice Department grants very few permits for parades and ruthlessly quashes those that spring up without their authority it has little to do with a distrust of any democratic system (though that is very much another story) but simply indicates that citizens cannot be trusted to take to the streets in any great number. A riot can develop for reasons that, in the aftermath, may seem incomprehensible, even for the citizens involved though this is no excuse for their lawless behaviour. A desire for democracy and the end of the judge system, housing rights and anti-alien protests have all been the cause of massive riots throughout Mega-City One in the past. However, so has the withdrawal of a certain brand of synthi-bar, the change of broadcast times for a Tri-D game show and the repainting of a city block. Mega-City One is a tinderbox of differing interests, prejudices and dissatisfied citizens, all looking for an outlet for their frustrations. Many may not even agree with the protest in which they are supporting but they are all too willing to go along with the masses simply as a release. It has even been known for riots to change the target of their protest several times during a march, as several particularly charismatic citizens alternatively take the lead for short periods of time. This can leave judges preparing a response a little bewildered as the riot literally takes a turn for the worst. The citizens engaged in the riot, however, may not even notice they are now fighting for a completely different cause. Riots pose particular problems for the judges as they tend to be mobile affairs and can cover several miles before being properly contained. As the riot travels, more and more citizens are drawn into the violence as it takes a life of its own. The citizens within riots rarely target one another, unless a dispute in views of doctrine becomes evident, but can cause an incredible amount of damage as vehicles are over turned and burnt out, blocks are attacked and shopping malls looted. The more serious riots actively target a perceived enemy or threat, such as a particular race of aliens, gang of juves or chain of kneepad stalls. When this happens, an ugly witch hunt can develop, with mob justice being performed against the possibly innocent targets in a hideous fashion only witnessed in the Mega-City. For these reasons, riots are given the highest priority for response by judges. In theory, a riot left unchecked could
travel through an entire sector, raising every citizen up in arms and leaving utter carnage in its wake. Unless the entire city is in the grip of a new, revolutionary and potentially dangerous idea (such as the democracy riots of 2113), riots tend to be limited to a few thousand angry citizens though it is only the presence of the judges that stops them spiralling further out of control.
Block W ars
By far the most well-known of all civil disturbances is the block war, though rumbles and riots tend to be more common. The city blocks of Mega-City One are monuments to human ingenuity rising over a mile into the cloudless sky, each houses tens of thousands of citizens, jam-packed together as part of the space saving measures necessary in the overcrowded city. Every possible convenience a citizen could dream of can be found within his own block, including shopping malls, bars, leisure centres, hover car showrooms, med-centres, arcades, and much more. It is possible for a citizen to live his entire life without ever needing to leave his city block and many do just that. An unfortunate side effect, however, is that it is all too easy for a citizen to start imagining a loyalty to his block, the idea that, in some way, his block is a far
81
better place to live than any other. This breeds a natural rivalry between the citizens of neighbouring blocks and while the outward signs of this are usually little more than juve gangs preying upon one another, it can ignite into full scale warfare. The incidents that have precipitated block wars in the past could be laughable, if their consequences were not so tragic. It is generally believed that the greatest block war in the history of Mega-City One was caused by four-credit Freezy-Whip being dropped on to the head of a citizen of a rival block. A far more common cause is to be found within the Citi-Def units present in every block. Bored with countless training exercises and mock combats, the part-time soldiers of the Citi-Def units yearn for real battle or trigger time, as they call it. The most obvious target is, of course, the Citi-Def soldiers of a neighbouring block. It does not take long for ordinary citizens to join their Citi-Def in attacking a rival block and with the incredible weapons to be found in their armoury, an immense amount of damage can be caused before the enemy has time to react. Missile launchers, lazookas and missile defence lasers can all be turned upon fellow citizens as the battle intensifies. Block wars can involve hundreds of thousands of citizens and judges must move quickly to segregate warring blocks before their neighbours also become involved. The death toll of even a short-lived war can be catastrophic as high explosive shells and piercing high intensity lasers pound each block to rubble. In rare events, Citi-Def units have infiltrated the foundations of their rivals, planting megaexplosives designed to bring the block crashing to the ground, prompting the Justice Department to mobilise every emergency squad in the sector.
The judges of any given sector may expect to face a block war perhaps once each month on average, though some sectors are notorious black spots of disillusioned citizens just itching to take their frustrations out on their neighbours. Few city blocks are actually destroyed by these block wars but deaths will always run into the thousands and the cost in criminal damage can rise to millions of credits, to say nothing of the burden placed on the iso-cubes as the judges haul thousands of perps off to complete their sentences.
Sector W ars
Incredibly rare in the history of Mega-City One, fullblown sector wars can make even a multiple block war seem insignificant. As a rule, citizens are far less devoted to their sector than they are their own city block though, once again, it takes little to trigger the mob instinct present in all of them. Sector wars involve millions of citizens, all mobilised under a common banner against their enemies in an adjacent sector. Battle lines can stretch dozens of kilometres, with each army led by the combined CitiDef units of all the blocks in the sector. The potential for destruction and carnage is incalculable and the Justice Department will move swiftly to defuse the crisis. One of the most famous examples of a neatly averted sector war was started by the civil councillors of Sector 1. The power supplies for their entire sector were being constantly disrupted by peak-time overloads from the neighbouring Sector 3. Unable to resolve the dispute to their satisfaction, the councillors illegally mobilised every Citi-Def unit in the sector. In less than an hour, Sector 3 had responded and two immense armies faced one another across a fifteen kilometre front. Judge Dredd was dispatched to avert the
82
brewing sector war, a task he accomplished by cutting off the power to both sectors until every Citi-Def unit had dispersed back to their own blocks. The councillors of both sectors were subsequently arrested by Dredd.
the judges alone who stand between relative peace and total anarchy. A more disturbing trend in recent years, however, is that of the intentional block war and riot. Due to the massive numbers of citizens involved in these disturbances, the response of the Justice Department will always be of a similar magnitude. In a time where the resources of the judges are severely limited and a massive shortfall in manpower exists, this means that one block war can all but drain an entire sectors ability to respond to other crimes. This filters down to all levels. While it is standard practice to increase judge visibility within a one mile radius of a block war or riot to discourage opportunistic looting and other crimes, this can seriously impact a patrol of street judges on the other side of the sector who may well find absolutely no back up units are available to them when confronting even major criminal activity. Perps have begun to learn this flaw in the Justice Departments policing methods and the best of them use it to their advantage. When planning raids on high-value facilities such as banks and Justice Department armouries,

It is a common joke among judges that citizens need no reason to go to war with one another and, indeed, the surface reasons for block wars and riots can seem incredibly trivial when exposed to detailed examination. The fundamental causes, however, are always the same. Mega-City One is a population centre in a permanent state of crisis. The succession of disasters to plague the city have left many completely homeless and those lucky enough to be catered for by the Housing Department are crammed into tiny apartments among tens of thousands of other citizens. The proliferation of computers and robots in industry, while making for an incredibly efficient economy, has driven unemployment to stratospheric levels and literally gave citizens far too much time on their hands. As Mega-City One spirals downwards under increasingly severe crime waves and social disorder, it is

some criminal organisations will seek to intentionally start a riot or block war a few miles away in order to both draw judges away from the intended target and cripple their ability to respond while the crime is in progress. Unfortunately for the perps, while riots and block wars can start with the most minor provocation, months of planning can go wasted as they slowly begin to realise that citizens are a fickle race. One badly chosen phrase from an eldster to the wrong juve can spark a whole block war but things can quickly become more problematic when perps try to intentionally start a disturbance. It can be incredibly difficult to tap into the group consciousness of tens of thousands of citizens simultaneously and just as the Justice Department can find it nigh on impossible to predict where the next block war will take place, so can perps find it amazingly difficult to start one deliberately. Block wars and riots are spontaneous events that have so far defied rational and scientific analysis. Many perps and criminal organisations are far more content to simply bide their time and launch their operations when a block war develops by chance. They are unlikely to have a long wait.
directly, these judges are actually superbly disciplined and well versed in handling numerically superior opposition in a manner designed to pacify rampaging mobs, rather than incite them to further violence. Given enough warning from narks, the Wally Squad and other informants, judges are also empowered to put entire blocks under solitary confinement where it is believed a block war is imminent. This is a method by which the blocks are quite simply shut down from the rest of the city, with no citizen being permitted to enter or leave until the Justice Department raises the blockade. This has little impact on the majority of citizens in such blocks, for everything they need in day-to-day life can be found within but by separating them from their neighbours, extreme violence may be averted. All too often, however, no such alert is available to the judges and those on the street may literally find themselves walking into a war zone with little to no warning. In such circumstances, judges are advised to keep their distance until back up arrives for even their superior training and equipment will avail them little against a mob one thousand strong.
Judicial Response
By necessity, the response of the judges to riots and block wars must be swift and total. The citizens they are sworn to protect can easily escalate a minor situation into a major tragedy and so a certain ruthlessness is required by judges arriving on the scene as a block war begins to flare up. The use of Stumm Gas is automatically sanctioned for it is far better to face a tiny proportion of deaths from allergic reactions to the toxin than thousands of casualties later on. Riot foam may be used to flood entire plazas in an effort to keep the mob from fighting and in extreme cases, sonic cannons can be turned upon the blocks themselves to immobilise their citizens. Major ordnance is also likely to be deployed, for the longer a block war rages, the more damage will be sustained in the surrounding area and the more judges will be tied up dealing with just this one incident. Pat-Wagons, H-Wagons and Manta Prowl Tanks are therefore all made readily available, where possible, once a street judge calls for back up. Specially trained and equipped riot squad judges will also be deployed in sectors that keep them on permanent alert. Often disregarded by street judges who view riot squad duty as somehow second-line when compared to fighting crime
The Aftermath
Once the perpetrators of a block war or riot are arrested and sentenced, and the clean up squads have been and gone, it is the lone citizen who has to cope with the aftermath of destruction. It is likely he will have lost friends and family in the fighting and will likely hold a deep-rooted grudge against the rival block, one that the judges solitary confinement of his own block cannot shake. He may not have released all his pent-up frustration before the judges arrived and will have to face yet another day of boredom and unemployment it is a well known fact among med-judges that incidents of Future Shock Syndrome can double among the survivors of block wars. The Justice Department keeps an extremely close eye on blocks that have warred in the past and rivalries can be maintained for many years. In general, this friction is restricted to juve gangs from the two blocks engaging in isolated rumbles but there is always the fear that a full-scale block war may erupt once more as citizens on either side start gearing themselves up for a re-match usually led by their own Citi-Def unit. Regardless of its past history, each block within Mega-City One must be regarded as a potential trouble spot for riots, block wars and worse.

Tour of the Justice Department
The organisation of the Justice Department is relatively simple; the Chief Judge and the Council of Five represent the Department and administrate its affairs. Below in the chain of command are the divisional and regional chiefs. The most numerous units exist at the bottom of the chain. They are the street judges, the law enforcers most often encountered by Mega-City citizens.
to prepare, manage and deliver the annual Justice Department budget. To achieve this, armies of accounting clerks work within the administrative offices of every major justice facility, from Sector Houses and armouries to the Grand Hall of Justice itself, checking and verifying data, auditing disbursement vouchers and debit memos.
Accounts Division (Acc-Div)
Atlantic Division
If there is any division within the Justice Department loathed as much as the SJS, the Accounts Division is probably it. The justice accountants work tirelessly
Until 2104, Mega-City One only laid claim to Black Atlantic territory 40 miles east of the city wall, not including the Trans-Atlantic Tunnel connecting with Brit-Cit. The Apocalypse War changed the situation

member of the Council of Five after the Apocalypse War. Recent incumbents have been placed in office by way of a voting system that has settled for the time being into standard practice. Only judges of senior status are eligible to vote for the new Chief Judge.
Council of Five
The Council of Five are the Chief Judges most trusted advisors, consisting of the chiefs of the most influential divisions. Once the Chief Judge has ratified department policy, the Council is responsible for its implementation. When the Chief Judge is unavailable to monitor MegaCity One, the Council govern by proxy. The Chief Judge is responsible for appointing and dismissing members of the Council, though traditionally the Councils complement remains static until the Chief Judge is replaced. There is no typical Council gallery, although few selections have omitted the chiefs of SJS and Street Divisions.
Covert Operations Establishment (COE)
The COE has evolved from the old American Central Intelligence Agency into an extremely efficient division with influence extending across the Earth. The COEs official mission statement is to counteract threats to Mega-City One, chiefly through intelligence gathering submitted to other divisions, and to take decisive action to resolve threats and maintain the citys integrity. drastically, testing the limited Mega-City oceanic defences and finding them wanting. Once Mega-City one had regained a measure of stability after the war, the Council of Five extended their jurisdiction two thousand kilometres east across the Black Atlantic, north as far as the tip of Greenland, and southwards to the Caribbean Zone. Despite official complaints from Brit-Cit and the East European Enclaves, Mega-City One has not seen fit to retract its decision, fearing another attack should it once more let its Atlantic defences stagnate.
Immigration Division
The Chief Judge
The ultimate authority in Mega City One rests with the Chief Judge who makes all decisions regarding policy and represents the public face of the Justice Department both at home and abroad. The manner by which previous Chief Judges have been selected for the post have varied tremendously. Traditionally, when a crisis has caused the death of the incumbent, a successor has been hurriedly selected from the Council of Five or the Academy of Law. In 2101, Chief Judge Nicolas Griffin was appointed after Chief Judge Cals one hundred-day reign of terror. Griffins successor Hilda McGruder, ex-SJS Chief, was the only surviving
Immigration Division decides who lives in Mega-City One and who will be excluded from citizenship. The favourite requirements for any individual seeking to live in the city are the Big HW (Health and Wealth). Mentally or physically unwell applicants are refused outright. Immigrants unable to support their selves financially, hoping to live off Welfare payments, will not even make it to a preliminary interview. Exceptions to standard application protocols are made under the Saville Convention for refugees claiming asylum, fleeing homelands that have become too hostile for their continued habitation. The Mutant Control and Emigration Bureaux are components of Immigration Division that deal with the removal of illegal mutants from the city.
Medical Division (Med-Div)
Medical Division formulates medical policy for the entire Justice Department. It is sub-divided into several critical units; Personnel Unit, Med-Lab, the Psycho Unit, the Dream Police and Genetic Control. Medical Divisions brief is to protect the Justice Department from any agent threatening the health of its personnel. It also
86
shares select, declassified portions of its accumulated knowledge with the civilian health authorities for the betterment of all.
Personnel Division
Personnel Division develops and administrates programs to improve judge motivation, satisfaction, efficiency, and general welfare. It is a standard feature of every Sector House, delegating assignments, maintaining personnel records, effecting personnel transfers, processing requests for extended leaves of absence and adjudicating internal disputes with the sector chief s approval. Another vital function of Personnel Division is the administration of internal multimedia, and information distribution services required to meet everyday needs, including daily briefings, general orders, legal bulletins, department postings, dataslugs and updated training manuals.
produces operatives who are not only highly-disciplined in the use of their strange powers, but also fully-fledged street judges able to outgun and out-think enemies of the Justice Department. Psi Division is based at Omar House in Sector 44, within sight of the Grand Hall of Justice. It comprises three departments; Psi-School, Psi-Lab and Psi-Operations.
Public Surveillance Unit (PSU)
Psi Division (Psi-Div)
One of the last Justice Department divisions to be formed, Psi Division took advantage of the massive increase in psychic potential apparently generated by the Atom War to provide the Justice Department with a small but indispensable organisation. Psi-judges are not unique to Mega-City One, though whereas most other city-states train their psychics to the exclusion of all else, Psi Division
The Public Surveillance Unit monitors the citizens of Mega-City One. Almost every public place and strip of roadway is monitored by a variety of cameras relaying information to the PSU judges in their headquarters located at the top of the Statue of Judgement, allowing them to keep track of the movements of every citizen. Unknown to the average citizen, the PSU also monitors every financial transaction ever made as well as keeping track of educational and medical records. The information PSU gathers is held in a vast database shared by MAC. All data can be recalled by one of the specialist operators at a moments notice.
The Space Corps
The Space Corps is responsible for maintaining MegaCity Ones spysat and stratosat networks under the banner of Satcom. It polices the space stations within Mega-City One territory and has military responsibilities beyond the Earth solar system, protecting -City colonies from themselves and fighting off attempted incursions into their territory by enemy alien military powers.
Special Judicial Squad (SJS)
The SJS are a special unit of judges who scrutinise the affairs of the other Justice Department divisions, searching for signs of corruption. Justice personnel suspected of malpractice are secretly observed with specialised surveillance equipment whose profiles are invisible to conventional justice sensors until the subjects guilt (or innocence) can be proven. If guilt is established, the SJS promptly send in a snatch squad of SJS operatives to apprehend the culprit. He is then taken into SJS headquarters beneath the Grand Hall of Justice for intensive questioning regarding his felony and possibly any accomplices within the Justice Department. Once they have all the information they require, the SJS report the criminal to the Council of Five so they may authorise his expulsion from the Justice Department to serve a prison sentence in one of several work camps located throughout the Cursed Earth or on Titan, a moon on the fringes of the solar system. SJS operatives personally supervise the ex-judges transit to his final destination, respectful that as a judge he remains extremely dangerous and must never be left unattended. In the event of a criminal judge committing a capital offence deserving the
87
death sentence, the SJS will administer the lethal injection and supervise the removal and disposal of the corpse.
Street Division
Street Division is an umbrella term for the largest organisation of judges in the Justice Department. Street judges are the personnel whom Mega-City One citizens will encounter almost every day of their active lives the archetypal image of a rugged defender of the law, mounted atop his Lawmaster motorcycle, Lawgiver pistol blazing from his hand. Think no further than Judge Dredd himself to encapsulate the public ideal of the street judge. Though street division personnel never fail to uphold this image, they are also involved with operations kept far from the public eye, just as crucial to keeping the streets safe from crime as a violent, physical presence.
Sector Houses, telecom nodes, armouries and emergency ops bases with a constant eye to upgrading as often as time and the Justice Department budget will allow. Every Sector House will have a tek-judge contingent. The principle Tek Division departments are Tek-Labs, the Engineer Corps, Fleet Services and the Forensics Squad.
Undercover Division (Wally Squad)
Tek Division (Tek-Div)
The main body of tek-judges are rarely seen on the streets of Mega-City One. They exist to devise cutting-edge technologies to augment Justice Department operations, facilitating explorations of environmental media not possible with conventional science. Tek-Div provides equipment, vehicles and weaponry to specifications demanded by the relevant divisions. It maintains the
Reasoning that maximum visibility equals maximum deterrence, judges normally prefer to maintain a high profile image when policing Mega-City One. Everything from the imposing street judge uniform to PSU surveillance cameras and Manta Prowl Tanks are designed to be conspicuous and instantly recognisable. However, there has always been a need for a covert approach. The Justice Department maintains an Undercover Division, nicknamed the Wally Squad, made up of an eclectic group of street judges specially trained to behave and look like ordinary citizens to completely blend into the more dangerous elements of Mega-City criminal society. For this reason, normal judges regard the Wally Squad as the biggest collection of freaks and oddballs to be found in the ranks of the Justice Department.

The Undercity
The Undercity came into being simply as a cost saving exercise. The original Mega-City was intended to span no more than thirty cityblocks and house no more than a few million people. However, population growth was rapidly rocketing out of control - the population of America was doubling with each new generation. Providing sufficient housing for the teeming millions was proving to be a major problem. Despite the chronic problems caused by the cramped conditions in the first of the Mega Cities, more and more cityblocks were built, taking up more and more room until the world famous skyline of New York City was dwarfed in the far more majestic profile of the neighbouring Mega-City. Before long, the City could expand no further east and New York had become an embarrassment an ancient, run down and impoverished cousin to the shining new City of the Future. Congress decreed that the old city should be demolished - however, as soon as the first cost breakdown of the mammoth task was drawn up, the finance conscious government balked at the sheer expense and ordered a special think-tank to come up with a more cost effective solution. The ultimate idea was straightforward, but ingenious. Instead of levelling the entire city, it would simply be left intact and encased in a new substance called rockcrete. This plan had several advantages not only would the government save on the cost of demolition, it could also avoid accusations of institutional vandalism. After all, the old city would be perfectly preserved in fact the new, high-tech substances ensured that it would be protected from almost everything that modern technology could throw at it. The planned method of entombing New York would require incredible engineering skill. There were to be several phases to the process. Initially, a huge geodesic dome would be constructed around the city. This would act as a mould for the millions of tons of rockcrete a revolutionary new substance synthesised in American chemical plants. Rockcrete was similar to concrete in principle, although it was far more durable and versatile it could be formed into almost any shape and would set solid within hours, forming an object harder than diamond and more durable than steel. The dome would be subsequently squared-off to create a vast cube that could easily act as the secure foundations of the new city. Naturally, there was a massive public outcry against the scheme. The most vocal protestors maintained that centuries of American cultural history would be lost and forgotten. Others could not believe that the planned dome would not be strong enough to support a cityblock without collapsing, never mind the planned dozen. The government was forced to compromise a huge referendum was held to determine which New York landmarks meant the most to the New York people. The winning buildings would be dismantled brick by brick and reassembled in the Mega-City. The landmarks finally chosen for relocation were the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Engineers set to work meticulously dismantling the chosen landmarks. The second objection was quickly dealt with colossal reinforced rockcrete pillars would be built at regular intervals to act as foundation supports for the cityblocks. This also had the added advantage of providing a degree of elasticity to the dome the new foundations would ensure that anything built on top would be almost completely earthquake proof. Despite the objections, work commenced on the massive dome in 2045. With the aid of colossal construction robots, the geodesic mould was completed in three months. However, manufacturing the millions of tons of rockcrete proved to be a far more difficult task. Hundreds of massive chemical processing plants were constructed with the sole task of refining the raw materials and churning out the new substance. The newly inaugurated President Booth ensured that production could accelerate by eliminating all Americas pollution control laws. This caused more problems than it solved the first batch of rockcrete was used to cover the stinking and corrosive waters of the Ohio River, which had become so clogged with chemical waste that it had been unofficially renamed the Big Smelly and would regularly catch fire. Beyond the East Coast, the waters of the Atlantic were gradually darkening
The Evacuation of New York
It took three years to completely cover New York City. As the view of the sky grew more and more obscured with each passing day, a vast exodus of New Yorkers began. As an incentive to move, the residents of New York were offered housing in the Mega-City. However, the construction of new cityblocks could not commence until the rockcrete foundations were complete. The population of the already overcrowded cityblocks was swollen by an influx of refugees until every block was filled to bursting point and beyond. But the refugees still came many took to the tangled web of roadways aboard constantly travelling mobile homes (mo-pads) and others were forced to live in virtual squalor in huge Displaced Person Camps, areas set aside in the shadows of the cityblocks for the millions on the Housing List. Even though the
89
government promised that this was merely a stopgap solution and everyone would be housed in a cityblock as soon as they became available, many New Yorkers decided to remain in their old neighbourhoods until they could expect decent housing. This caused massive problems. The designers had never expected anyone to remain once the burial of the city began and had made no accommodation to allow air to circulate sooner or later the atmosphere would become toxic and un-breathable. A vast ventilation system was quickly designed and installed dozens of colossal air conditioning vents were bored through the rockcrete dome, enormous fans were added that would allow fresh air to be pumped far below the ground into what tabloid journalists had already dubbed the Undercity. The cover was by no means total some areas would still quickly become clogged with lethal carbon dioxide and even in the clearest areas the air would be thin and dank. However, the air conditioning was the final straw entombing New York would now cost more than simply demolishing it. On the other hand, the massive foundations had proved to be far more stable and secure than building cityblocks on the ground the enormous columns coupled with the stabilising effect of the dome completely eliminated the threat of subsidence. Some of the earlier cityblocks were beginning to slowly sink or even collapse due to this phenomenon and eliminating this problem was a major concern. President Booth himself instigated what became known as the Foundation Agenda exploiting recently
discovered mineral deposits in the asteroid belt and American mining colonies on the moon, Mars and Saturns moon of Titan, work commenced on the construction of several new foundation domes. These New York City sized areas were eventually designated as Sectors and formed a vast, interconnecting plaza later known as City Bottom. Meanwhile, the diehard residents of New York (at this point, some 100,000 citizens) were gradually adapting to life beneath the earth. Street lighting was blazing twenty-four hours a day and huge lighting rigs had been constructed at semi regular intervals, but life was proving to be difficult. Even with this meagre light, the air was thin and plant life was dying. The vital air conditioning system produced an enormous amount of condensation on the vast, vaulted dome that had been re-christened the concrete sky by the residents the result was an almost constant heavy drizzle. Building maintenance was given a low priority and older, less well-built structures began to crumble and collapse. Isolated from Senator Fargos new force of judges and with the New York police department disbanded, crime ran rampant. The only form of justice available rested in the hands of the vigilante group known as the Guardian Angels, whose methods were becoming more and more brutal and harsh with every passing day. Before long, a deadline was set for the final evacuation of New York. The residents were given one month to leave before all power was cut off in the city. Many, terrified by the prospect of getting stuck with no light at all, left as quickly as possible. However, some chose to remain a
90
few had come to appreciate life below ground, others were simply paranoid survivalists furious that they were being forced from their homes. Some simply had nowhere else to go the homeless who believed that their life would be no better on the cold streets of the Mega-City than it was on the buried streets of New York. Others could not make it out in time and were dismayed when the huge Undercity gates were sealed. On 31st December 2048, all power was cut off and New York City began its longest night.
to burrow huge tunnels through the rockcrete, slowly chipping away at the walls with primitive picks in an attempt to escape back into the sunlight. After five years of painstaking work, the first tunnel was finally finished and the exhausted workers rushed throughonly to discover that they had merely reached yet another subterranean environment identical to the one that they had just left. On the surface, the Mega-City had grown to colossal proportions, engulfing several cities including Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore in the process, all of which had been buried in their own domes and formed their own Undercities although New York had served as a warning and far fewer citizens had chosen to stay below ground. Senator Fargo had been proclaimed Chief Judge of Mega-City One, and looked set to become the next president of the United States when President Booths second term of office ended in 2055. However, Booth backed by his formidable force of blindly obedient robotic Mek-Troops proclaimed himself President for Life in 2054. The growth of Mega-City One was halted, incapable of expanding further west because of the Appalachian Mountain range and south because Booth refused to allow Washington DC to become an Undercity. Meanwhile, Fargo was implementing harsher and more Draconian laws as crime ran out of control in the pressure cooker environment of the Mega-City. Many citizens became discontented, feeling that life had been far more fulfilling in the Golden Age of the 20th Century Old New York became a shining example of when times were better and people were happy, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Some chose to return to the city, crawling through the ventilation ducts or circumnavigating the lethal waters of the Big Smelly in order to return to their old homes. Many died in the attempt, those who survived wished they had not the dark, crumbling metropolis was far from the paradise they were seeking. Other, criminal, citizens also made for the safety of the Undercity it was almost the only place in America that was completely free of the single minded and relentless judges. Most found that the old city and subterranean caverns were far more claustrophobic and confining than a prison cell or one of the new Iso Cubes. Both fugitives and Golden Agers alike found that it was considerably harder to escape from the Undercity than it was to enter it The bleak life of the Undercity dwellers continued. Extending their tunnels to scavenge into the adjacent domes, the scaver teams (as the explorative tribes had become known) eventually made contact with the residents and denizens of the other entombed cities and discovered that their subterranean world was far more extensive than they had originally thought possible - and looked set to become even larger. Nobody seemed to know exactly where the Undercity would end many believed that before long the whole of the United States would
Life in the Darkness
As the great gates clanged shut for the final time, those left behind had to adapt to a radically different environment. Once familiar places were rendered nightmarish and impossible to navigate in the absolute darkness and many unsuspecting residents were killed in accidents that could have been easily avoided if there had been even low-level lighting. Those with flashlights or generators found themselves under siege by their less well-prepared neighbours, desperately attempting to fend off the shadows. Barbarism quickly became the norm, with people willing to kill just for a flashlight battery. All pretence of law and order quickly evaporated in the ultra tense environment. Caches of fuel did not last long - nearly all conventional vehicles ground to a halt within six months, with the precious light giving generators spluttering out shortly afterwards. By this time an uneasy form of primitive society had developed the New Yorkers had gathered together into tribes for protection, constantly raiding each other for the precious dwindling resources. Left without power supplies, technology regressed to a primitive level even firearms were not as useful as first though as targets were almost impossible to see, let alone hit - and in any case ammunition was in very short supply. Close combat weapons such as homemade spears and clubs became essential equipment if venturing far from home. It was soon discovered that even fire could not be relied upon to provide light and heat there simply was not enough air to support more than a small blaze. Enough food had been left behind in abandoned supermarkets and shopping malls to last for several years, but many tribes would attempt to capture and hoard any food stocks that they came across. The smaller and less effective tribes were soon forced to survive on rat - or other, darker practices It was not all bad news. Venturing into the sewers, one tribe discovered a type of luminous moss that seemed to thrive in the shadows of the Undercity. Traded with some tribes and stolen by others, the so-called glowstuff soon became widespread throughout New York, providing feeble but welcome illumination. While most of the population grudgingly accepted the new status quo, others were prepared to do almost anything to try to escape. Some of the larger tribes began
91
become one vast grey stain of Mega-City. Construction of the tunnels continued, allowing access to the entire underground world. Soon, there was a massive warren of tunnels connecting every area of the Undercity. One of the larger tribes located a huge herd of feral pigs in an area that had once been fertile farmland, which was quickly captured with the intent of serving as a stable food supply. However, technical minded citizens had a better idea the pigs could be used to provide a constantly renewable fuel source: methane gas, a by-product of their digestive process. Before long, a rudimentary technology had returned to the roads and buildings of the Undercity. Ramshackle, methane powered jalopies soon appeared on the roads the prestige of owning a functioning vehicle outweighing the poorly built engines unbelievable stink and unfortunate tendency to explode. A strange arms race developed between the more powerful tribes those without access to methane (soon better known as piggy gas) developed slower but more reliable steam engines instead.
Once out of their tunnels, the troggies quickly supplanted the local human population. They were simply better at surviving in the dark world. Troggies rapidly spread throughout the Undercity, the normal humans rapidly becoming the minority.
The Undercity Thrives

In 2070, the world changed forever. Believing that his new Laser Defence Mesh would protect America from any attack, President Booth launched a massive unprovoked nuclear assault against Russia. Tragically, he was incorrect only the east coast and the three Mega-Cities had total coverage and the heartland of the United States was almost completely annihilated in the counterattack. The resultant war left most of the world a smoking, radiation saturated wasteland. Many citizens, terrified by the new arms race and fearful of nuclear war, had chosen to flee to the Undercity and the invulnerability offered by the rockcrete. However, once the danger had passed these refugees found, like the Golden Agers ten years before, that they could not leave the dark world as easily as they had arrived. President Booth was finally deposed in 2071. His departure allowed Mega-City One to expand again at last. Before long, the City extended as far as Miami, swallowing Washington along the way. Still unable to build on top of the Appalachian Mountains, the ailing Chief Judge Fargo took his most controversial decision ever he ordered giant terraforming robots, usually used for customising the hostile environment of Mars, to level the entire mountain range. Fargo died in 2072 and did not live to see his Mega-City in all its glory by 2080, it covered almost the entire East Coast of North America and housed a staggering eight hundred million citizens. The citizens of Mega-City One soon forgot about life before the megatropolis was built. The buildings which had been lovingly transferred a generation before slowly began to decay, forgotten in the shadows of the massive cityblocks. By 2099, these decrepit ruins were barely remembered the Empire State Building became a refuge for criminals and the Statue of Liberty was lost in the shadow of the newly built Statue of Justice. Also in 2099, there was a vivid reminder of the subterranean world beneath the feet of the citizens. Huge cracks had appeared in the rockcrete foundations of Sector 44, which reached all the way down to the dark world of the Undercity. For the first time, the Undercity dwellers could emerge into the light. However, the first group to make an appearance was a cult of violent troggies, led by Slick Willy, self-styled Prime Cat of the
The Emergence of the Troggies
By 2065, tales of monsters began to spread throughout the dark world. It had long been known that enormous gators lived in the sewer system that sometimes emerged to drag off unfortunate Undercity dwellers to a terrible end. Stranger and even more horrific mutant creatures occasionally surfaced from the pollution clogged waters of the Big Smelly. The new reports were different these monsters seemed to be at least partially human. They came from the old New York subway system. The subways had been a no-go area since New York had been buried the tunnels had been used to conceal toxic waste and those few who tried to investigate the crumbling tunnels were never seen again. What the Undercity dwellers did not know was that the subway had been inhabited by the homeless and dispossessed since at least the 1950s and some were still there. By the time New York had been buried, some of its residents had already been living beneath the ground for nearly three generations. The creatures that eventually emerged seemed perfectly adapted to life in the Undercity. It seemed unlikely that humanity could adapt so rapidly to its new environment some speculated that toxic waste had somehow produced a stable mutant strain. The squat creatures possessed huge, luminous eyes capable of seeing in total darkness with ease, their hearing was far more acute than the human norm and their mouths had become huge fang filled maws in response to their staple died of rat. Somehow, the creatures that were soon dubbed troggies were able to breathe carbon dioxide as well as oxygen, allowing them to survive in areas that normal humans could not.
92
troggies. Resentful of what he saw as his peoples unfair incarceration in the darkness, he set about kidnapping upsiders, putting them to work planting explosives in the old subway system in order to bring the whole Mega-City crashing down. Unfortunately, one of his captives was legendary lawman Judge Dredd, who quickly brought an end to the mad scheme. Not long afterwards, the Robot War broke out. The renegade machines were defeated, but some managed to flee into the Undercity. The cracks were soon filled in, but the Justice Department had been reminded of the Undercity. For the first time in over 50 years, the vast Undercity Gates were unsealed and semi-regular patrols of judges began to tour the subterranean world. Retiring judges were given the option of bringing the law to the lawless until death in the Undercity, but most preferred life in the twilight of the nuclear winter in the Cursed Earth to the inky darkness of the never ending night of Undercity. Along with the surface City, over half of the Undercity was destroyed in the Apocalypse War of 2104. In the aftermath of the destruction, the Justice Department lacked the manpower to continue the patrols and once again the denizens were left to their own devices. It was nearly four years before there was any further contact between the two worlds and it was a far more terrifying and horrific set of circumstances than previous encounters. On a warm summer night with a full moon in 2107, the Justice Department began to receive reports of the discovery of horrifically mutilated corpses in Sector
44. It appeared that the unfortunate citizens were the victims of some terrifying animal It did not take long to find the culprits. Huge, beastlike creatures were spotted prowling the streets of the MegaCity. The entities were humanoid, but with wolf-like characteristics soon named werewolves by horror-vid fan Judge Korkoran. The monsters were quickly tracked down and eliminated, but not before they had infected several judges and citizens with a virus-like contagion that induced the horrific transformation. Judge Cassidy quickly isolated a cure and analysis of the mangled remains of the creatures soon identified one as Judge Bram, who had taken the Long Walk into the Undercity several years before. An enormous crack was discovered in City Bottom that led right into the heart of New York this must have been where the creatures originated. Armed with the cure, Judge Dredd ventured into the Undercity with the task of completely wiping out the creatures. After encountering several of the strange residents of the dark world, Dredd tracked the beasts to their lair in Central Park. Despite being infected with the lycanthropy virus, he successfully managed to wipe out both the wolf pack and the cause of the trouble a mutant bacteria that had evolved following exposure to toxic waste. Dredd was transformed into a werewolf and looked set to become the last and most dangerous monster of all but fortunately he was captured and immobilised by Judge Prager, who had taken the Long Walk four years before. Prager returned Dredd to the surface, before returning to his grim
93
home and his endless task of trying to bring the Law to the Lawless. Not long after this, in 2110, a lone troggie emerged from the Undercity. The creature was seeking Judge Dredd, as he had aided the Undercity dwellers against the werewolf threat. In broken Mega-Speak, the creature warned Dredd of a bad evil that had appeared to dominate many of the Undercity tribes. Accompanied by Psi Judge Anderson, Dredd ventured into New York only to discover the old city unusually deserted. A renegade Oz citizen called Brad Evil had established a headquarters in the old Gloomingdales department store, which had once claimed to sell everything. Although the store had been looted, there was still enough stock left in storerooms and on the shelves for Evil to put the claim to the test he had uncovered a long forgotten guided nuclear missile in the stores armoury section, which he intended to launch at the concrete sky and bring Sector 44 tumbling down into the Undercity. With the aid of his mutant psyker brother Spike, Evil had dominated many of the local tribes including the terrible Tribe of the Free Robot who were now serving as his personal army. Dredd and Anderson were able to defeat Evil and his minions, but not before he had activated the missile. Fortunately, the missile was a dummy an ancient macabre joke by the long dead owner of Gloomingdales. Evil and his brother were imprisoned in the Mega-City and life quickly returned to normal in the Undercity. There was to be little contact between the Undercity and the surface world in the years to come. Occasionally, judges would embark on missions to track down a particularly vicious criminal who had escaped into the dark and supernatural threats that seemed to be becoming increasingly at home in the Undercity. CitiDef squads took to embarking on training missions below ground some never returned home, lost in the lightless void. A terrifying supernatural entity known only as the Creep took up residence in Philadelphia and set about tormenting the residents and visitors. Many citizens of Mega-City One and some judges fled to the Undercity during the Necropolis crisis, again swelling the population with refugees. There was another, far stranger form of refugee on this occasion somehow, inhuman cannibalistic creatures had been created during the disaster, apparently the victims of a prion disease that warped their minds and bodies. These ghouls took up permanent residence in the Undercity, preying on their neighbours in their unspeakable hunger for flesh. Late in the summer of 2124, a battered figure appeared at Undercity Gate 17, demanding entrance to the City. Astonishingly, the figure turned out to be Judge Prager, still alive after more than 20 years alone in the terrifying underworld. He was badly wounded, but all he wanted was medical aid and some ammunition. Even after Judge Dredd
was authorised to allow the grizzled ex-judge to return to the Mega-City if he so wished, Prager refused. He maintained that his home was the Undercity now and demanded to be allowed to return below ground before night fell. The reason for his urgent attempts to return before night became all too obvious later. As darkness fell and the full moon began to rise, a startling transformation took place Prager transformed into a huge, grey werewolf. However, this creature seemed to possess far more selfcontrol than the rampaging monsters of two decades earlier. Prager was still only concerned with returning to the Undercity and successfully broke through the Undercity Gates. Pursued by Dredd, Prager made for the White House, once the home of the American President and the scene of the final surrender of President Booth in 2171. The historic building was now occupied by far less prestigious residents a mysterious scarred mutant known only as Mister Bones had gathered an army of troggies and armed them with modern weapons. Dredd and Prager successfully routed the intended uprising, but failed to capture any of the leaders. Once the sun rose on the surface, Prager slowly returned to his normal self. It seemed that Dredd had not killed all the werewolves and Prager had spent several years tracking down the few survivors he had become infected with a variation of the lycanthropy virus in the process. Refusing Dredds offer for a cure, Prager asked only for a fresh pair of boots and some ammunition before returning to his patrol. Mister Bones returned to threaten the Mega-City a few months later. He had been exiled from the Mega-City when he was a baby because Med-Techs had determined that his mutant genes had given him a propensity for evil. After surviving several years in the radioactive hell of the Cursed Earth, Bones had stowed away on a deep space freighter and become a notorious pirate and freebooter. But he had never forgotten his exile, and eventually found the means for his revenge. He had discovered a terrifying alien creature a destructive, totally inhuman monster that he believed would be able to destroy the Mega-City. Establishing a headquarters in the Grand Central Station in the heart of New York, he captured hundreds of troggies and human tribesmen and impregnated them with alien embryos. Unfortunately for Bones, his chosen human allies proved to be unreliable and he was forced to launch his attack too early. His unleashed aliens nevertheless managed break into the Grand Hall of Justice and killed dozens of judges before he and his monsters were wiped out when Judge Dredd destroyed a Power Tower conduit, flooding the old subway tunnels with molten lava. With the Undercity becoming stranger every year, who knows what the future holds for this terrifying landscape?

Brit-Cit
Across the polluted Black Atlantic Ocean sits a small island, once the most powerful nation on the face of the Earth. In 2124 its empire has faded, but in its wake rises a vision of a future world leader, home to some of the most dynamic and resourceful industries in the western hemisphere. The island is England, home to Brit-Cit. This small but distinctive nation is a popular tourist attraction, conjuring images of smog-clouded streets packed tightly together, patrolled by cheerful but resolute judges and populated by hardworking citizens and cloaked murderers in the deepest, darkest alleyways, all bowing before the regal splendour of the royal family. The truth is somewhere in between and far more complicated. Brit-Cit is located at the western edge of Europe, separated from France by the Brit-Cit Channel. Brit-Cit is the capital of the British Isles and their administrative centre. Brit-Cit is a mega-city with a population of 160 million people, covering the southern edge of England and reaching north as far as the Swindon Hellhole, a radioactive geological furnace. Brit-Cit was once a larger conurbation with sectors in Northampton and plans to extend even further north to Birmingham; in 2070 these plans fell apart. The Great Atom War between the United States of America and the Russian Federation provoked a pre-emptive strike from Brit-Cit. As Americas ally, BritCit was compelled to act in its defence as well as safeguard its own shores. Brit-Cits nuclear strike against Russian missile silos in the Siberian Lowlands was met with a counteroffensive from Russias allied state Volga. The rain of missiles, taking Brit-Cits northern face with it, levelled one third of England but largely failed to eradicate the nations capital, exploding harmlessly against Brit-Cits laser defence shield, though at least one missile did impact against the nearby coastline. Russia followed up with submarine-based missile spreads, but they again were useless against Brit-Cit and so were deployed against Brit-Cits nuclear silos further north. Four months into the Atom War, Brit-Cit was in no shape to continue the fight and promptly removed itself from global politics for the duration. Decades later, following a second civil war and massive social upheaval, Brit-Cit is once more a force to be reckoned with, the centre of Europes fastest growing mega-corporations and an enduring tourist attraction. The Brit-Cit of 2124 is divided into five regions; Central, South, North, East and West, following the template for mega-city construction laid out by the architects of Mega-City One. Brit-Cit Central is the citys most affluent area, home to business leaders, major politicians and the operations centre of the Brit-Cit Justice Department. BritCit South shares near-equal prominence with Central,
95
housing the Forbidden Citadel, the fortified home of the royal family, led by Queen Betty. Brit-Cit East contains most of the major industrial production centres with good communication links to the Frank Hampson Astrodome, Brit-Cits largest spaceport. Brit-Cit West is favoured by the wealthiest citizens and the most popular, including celebrities and sports and music stars. Brit-Cit North is the blot on the citys landscape, low on social funding, with huge community and crime problems. Brit-Cit has 69 sectors, connected by a scaled-down version of the MegaCity One transit system. A laser defence grid, powered by generator stations across the city, protects Brit-Cit from nuclear strikes, though since the grids privatisation several stations have suffered malfunctions during routine firing tests, prompting questions in the House of Commons. Brit-Cit lacks a city wall because it has few local groundbased enemies. The Royal Air and Space Force and Royal Navy provide an instant defence against non-nuclear scenarios. Brit-Cit is governed by Parliament, represented by politicians (MPs) from the Houses of Commons and Lords
who debate issues pertaining to Englands well-being and create new laws. Brit-Cit lacks both a Prime Minister and the traditional Number 10 Downing Street residence of the old national government. In response to terrorist threats, the nerve centre of the government has relocated to deep beneath the Houses of Parliament, reconvened in the facility known as the Star Chamber. The general public know the Star Chamber as something of a gentlemens club, a place where politicians, businessmen and royalty can chat informally, but in truth the Star Chamber is a dictatorship founded by the Lords Executive of the megacorporations, who have snatched power from the Prime Ministers and their cabinets and are abusing the laws to benefit their profit margins. The MPs remain unaware of the extent to which their own powers are subservient to the mega-corps and continue to strut arrogantly before the citizens, convinced they still control their own destinies and those of their millions of constituents. Each MP has a city sector to govern in Parliaments name. The MP and his sector council are responsible for keeping housing developments and public services within the annual budget, and secondly for liaising with the Justice
96
Department regarding the improvement of crime figures during that MPs twelve-month term in office. Lords of the realm own most of Brit-Cits territory, figures of noble breeding and national merit who are granted land as a reward for their services to the government. The lords are landowners who receive regular payments from citizens who live within their estates as tenants. Businesses are also required to pay the lord ground rent for operating on his land. A single sector may have as many as twenty lords or only one extremely powerful lord, who may be a Lord Executive of one of the mega-corps. The lords have the power to evict tenants as they wish without fear of recrimination but are subject to the authority of their local MP and sector Justice Department in matters of financial corruption and breaches of the peace and the law. Brit-Cit maintains a complex social hierarchy that perpetuates a huge divide between the welfare and rights of the citys wealthiest and/or most noble citizens and the millions of citizens who are forced to bow down to them. The upper classes are those born into wealth and power, the Lords Executive and the royal family. The middle classes are highly skilled, high-responsibility public-service workers with authority over a number of employees. The lower classes are the low-skilled, lowwage workers known as drones. An underclass exists,
mainly the homeless and jobless, who are targeted for on-site extermination should they deface Brit-Cits streets with their presence. Law and order in Brit-Cit are provided by Her Majestys Justice Department. Coordinated by the Chief Judiciary, based in the New Old Bailey, Brit-Cit judges work from sector stations under the command of sector sergeants. The judges of Brit-Cit are armed only with melee weapons or stun guns, an effective response in a society where firearms are the exception rather than the norm. Another case is made for the crime lords and their armies of drug dealers, who have no qualms about using the deadliest weapons to ensure their nefarious trades survive. Brit-Cits economy puts a heavy hand on the drugs market, lucrative as it is. A good number of MPs and Lords Executive enjoy the use of drugs and so have an interest in such contraband entering Brit-Cit without too much interference from the judges. To ensure the Justice Departments largely involuntary complicity, spies and saboteurs are installed in the departments upper ranks, prepared to redirect CID investigations when they get too close to shutting down a drug ring. Drugs like caffeine, alcohol and sugar are legal in Brit-Cit, although their use is closely regulated. With ready stockpiles of these drugs, it is not surprising that Brit-Cit is the fourth-highest illegal
97
exporter of contraband into Mega-City One, behind Texas City, Mex-City and Ciudad Barranquilla. Brit-Cit housing is smaller than the mammoth developments of Mega-City One but no less diverse. Floating havens called aircons hover above cityblocks, home to the rich and reclusive. Luxurious dock parks overlook the citys seaports, their inhabitants attended to by a small army of domodroids. Underhabs are subterranean dwellings designed to take the population into less crowded localities, but they are priced well above the average citizens means. Another option for the upper classes is the manor dome, a palace protected from the noise and pollution by a glasseen dome. Lower-class citizens must make do with small flats in cityblocks named after Brit-Cit celebrities past and present. Almshouses in the citys back streets care for the unwanted masses of homeless, ever vigilant for teams of governmentsponsored cleaners with firearms searching for displaced persons to execute. Brit-Cit is one of the untidiest mega-cities in the western world, on a par with Ciudad Barranquilla for sheer quantity of accumulated street filth. The lower classes generally have little respect for their environment, considering themselves to be hard done by the path that destiny has forged for them. The streets of Brit-Cit are littered with food packets, biodegradable waste (which will eventually diminish into nothing but still looks unsightly), lost and abandoned clothing, burnt-out vehicles (leftovers from
jackgang or hoog rampages) and even corpses left to rot in the early morning sun, victims of domestic violence and gangland slayings. Displaced persons haunt the midnight streets scavenging what they can from the street waste, as do rat packs and Allotment mutations, soon to vanish into the lower levels until the next night. Underinvestment and lacklustre safety checks blight the once-glorious Brit-Cit transportation network. The meg- and skedways are patched up with discoloured, lumpy stretches of plasteen; the newer pedways tend to rock backwards and forwards in the wind, much to the discomfort of these who have to travel over them. The overtube trains are two decades old and scarred by jackgang graffiti. Somehow, despite these problems, Brit-Cit traffic manages to keeps on moving, the commuters affecting a stiff upper lip, patient and tolerant of the endless traffic snarl-ups caused by collapsed road surfacing and overtube delays prompted by crashed rotor bladers that take ten hours to clean up.
The Allotment
The wastelands north of Brit-Cit, reaching up to the Scottish border, were left well alone by the Brit-Cit government after the Atom War. The cost of cleaning up the irradiated landscape and relocating the millions of survivors was immeasurable. The Star Chamber ordered a complete withdrawal of investment from the wastelands and a concerted effort to shoring up Brit-Cits
98
borders from future attack. The people of the wastelands, diseased and mutated by the war, had no choice but to seek comfort among the ruined town and cities, some building new settlements along the old motorway networks. Nearly fifty years later, the Brit-Cit government, faced with a population spiralling out of control, instigated a huge reclamation program aimed at decontaminating the wastelands, bulldozing the ruins and building satellite conurbs, jointly controlled by Brit-Cit and the Federation of Redevelopers (FOR). The wastelands - now known as the Allotment - are subject to an army of terramek reclam droids crunching their way north through the post-atomic landscape. The mutant population watches helplessly - will they have a place in the new conurbs, and what will happen to them if they do not?
The Justice Department
Emerald Isle
Ireland was damaged by fallout moving across the Irish Sea from England. Ireland and its people were saved by an alliance with the Brit-Cit mega-corp FunRaiser Enterprises, a giant in global theme-park entertainment. FunRaiser reclaimed most of Irelands damaged land in return for purchasing it at a great discount and building a theme park called Emerald Isle atop the ruins. Playing on the world at larges perceptions of Irish stereotypes, Emerald Isle presents a microcosm of Irish history, adjusted to make the experience fun for all the family. Such is the size of Emerald Isle that most of Irelands 20 million strong population are actively employed in service at and performing in the theme park. As healthy as Emerald Isles economy may be, however, not all the locals are happy with the state of affairs. Numerous terrorist cells have sprung up, sabotaging theme park rides and firebombing the tourists. Claiming to speak for the true spirit of the Irish people, the terrorists are determined to oust FunRaiser Enterprises from their home and then erase Emerald Isle from memory, replacing it with a sovereign state governed by a terrorist coalition.
The judges of Brit-Cit are considered by outsiders to share much in common with their counterparts in Mega-City One, perhaps because of their similarity in uniforms and close diplomatic ties as physically demonstrated by the Trans-Atlantic Tunnel. In fact, the two Justice Departments have many differences in operational procedures and administration. Brit-Cit judges are more lenient in their approach to crime and can spend as much time buried in paperwork as they do patrolling the streets of their sectors. Brit-Cit judges are considered too soft on drug and violent offences. The truth behind the Justice Departments disappointing presentation would horrify those who criticise the judges as lazy good-for-nothings as much as it fills the judges themselves with resentment and anger. A select number of the mega-corporations ruling the Star Chamber ensure the judges do not have the necessary powers to stop the highly lucrative drugs trade from flourishing in Brit-Cit. The consequence is that the judges appear soft on drugs. Drug addicts and agents of the citys wealthiest criminal organisations commit the most violent crimes. To break the backs of either group might cripple the drugs trade and the wider operations run by the Brit-Cit underworld. For reasons of national security, the Star Chamber will not let this happen, but at the same time the Justice Department must not appear overly incompetent.
99
The largest difference between the judges of Brit-Cit and Mega-City One is their salaries. Brit-Cit judges are paid to uphold the law. When their shifts are over, the judges return to their flats and families and may even take annual holidays to have extended rests from the dangers of beat life. The Brit-Cit Justice Department is not immune to the privileges that come with wealth and ancestry; with enough money, a judge can buy himself a promotion into any department short of a seat on the Chief Judiciary. The Brit-Cit Justice Department - officially referred to as Her Majestys Justice Department (HMJD) - maintain law and order in and around Brit-Cit. They are led by the Chief Judiciary and answerable to Parliament. Only the Star Chamber can make permanent changes to the Justice Departments administration and operational policies, but they cannot disband the Justice Department without a majority vote from both the Houses of Lords and Commons.
Beat Division
City Defence, comprising the Royal Air and Space Force and the Royal Navy and controlled by the Minister of Defence, protect Brit-Cit from air, sea and space attacks. All City Defence personnel are judges trained in specialist roles. The Royal Air and Space Force operate from Strike Command, the tallest building in Sector 54. Strike Command is divided into three departments: No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Groups. No. 1 Group are the first line of defence, despatching Forthwith cruisers and offensive support aircraft. No. 2 Group operate air force support elements such as air refuelling platforms and ground defence stations. No. 3 Group safeguard Brit-Cit in the theatre of space, equipped with in-system attack ships and interdictors. These ships are housed in High Command, a satellite locked in geostationary orbit over Brit-Cit airspace. The Royal Navy patrol the Black Atlantic with a fleet of frigates, destroyers, A-Wagons and sub-hunters. Sea Command is based at HMNB Sector 45. The First Sea Lord governs the Royal Navy.
City Defence
The judges of Beat Division are renowned throughout the world for their tolerance and patience, but the truth is that while beleaguered by a government with criminal leanings and overwhelming self-interest, the judges of Brit-Cit are committed to defeating crime. Once a beat judge has spent two years studying at Hendon Judge Training Academy, he spends a final year on probation at a sector station under the watchful eye of a sole senior judge. If the senior judge pronounces the probationer fit for continued service, he will be transferred to his first sector station. Beat judges are paid a monthly wage of 15,000 and given help with housing costs. Judges who have a healthy store of money can skip ranks by paying their way into their preferred positions. All judges are forced by law to retire at 70, paid off with a modest pension.
Criminal Investigation Department (CID)
CID are the investigative arm of the Justice Department, taking charge of investigations into major crimes such as armed robbery, rape, computer crime, gambling, criminal organisations and secret societies, kidnapping, extortion and vice.
Special Branch
Chief Judiciary
The Chief Judiciary is the Justice Departments ruling body, led by the Chief Judge, who chairs a court of advisors and divisional heads. The Chief Judge is a politician, the Justice Department his constituency. He divides his time between debating in the House of Lords and Star Chamber, dealing with departmental issues at the New Old Bailey and touring the city as the national constitution bids him, reassuring the citizens that crime figures are falling and comforting them with Be Brave! Be Bold! Do Right! advertising campaigns. The Director of Prosecutions, an expert on law and order, assists the Chief Judge. In the Chief Judges absence, the Deputy Chief Judge assumes control in partnership with the divisional heads for CID, City Defence, Special Branch and Beat Division.
Special Branch are responsible for countering a wide range of extremist and terrorist activity. They gather and analyse intelligence findings and disseminate them to area commands. They share intelligence with allied mega-cities concerning activists who threaten multinational security. Special Branch monitor the global proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and initiate measures to stop further development should they threaten Brit-Cit interests. Special Branch maintain an anti-corruption unit called the Ferret to watch for treacherous elements within the Justice Department. Like the SJS of Mega-City One, the Ferret has the authority to arrest corrupt justice personnel. Armed judges who open fire on Ferret agents can expect to receive a blasting in return. The para squad is an unusual component of Special Branch, the existence of which is not widely known among beat judges. Para Squad is the name for the collection of psychics trained to work for the betterment of society. The paras, as they are known, are given the option of serving Special Branch or undergoing a lobotomy to remove the areas of their brains responsible for their psi talents. The paras who join the Branch are kept tightly under control and allowed out of their detainment centre only with an armed guard.

Cal Hab
In 2101, the Caledonian Habitation Zone (Cal Hab) was accepted as a member of the world community of judges. Before the advent of justice there was only a steady regression into tribalism. Brit-Cits response was to sanction the project codenamed Song in the Sky, bombarding the Cal Hab populace with a range of subliminal messages, gradually nudging their collective psyche into submission and conformity. In 2116 Song in the Sky was destroyed and Brit-Cits hold over the Cal Habbers was gone in an instant. North of the ForthClyde line, the bull cults re-emerged with their wolf masks and woad tattoos, sweeping out of the Iona wastes, brutally slaughtering and beheading judges. Even the Justice Department was affected by the regression, and Highlands judge detachments formed the Order of the Templars, broadcasting their religious doctrine across the land. In response, Brit-Cit despatched SAS strike teams. Martial law was re-established and the Cal Hab Justice Department disbanded. Brit-Cit rules in all but name, creating a government based on the ideal of the Estates, great swaths of land each under the control of a single laird. Cal Hab has regressed socio-politically some six hundred years and a repressive system of master and servant exists once more. Only Glascal and the Big E have remained relatively unscathed from the regression. Brit-Cit has installed transmitters called Choruses into the two cities, bringing their people into line in a scaled-down version of the Song in the Sky satellite. The Cal Hab Justice Department has slowly been rebuilt from scratch. The Castle, a forbidding fortress and home of Laird McDuff, caretaker for Brit-Cit Duke Algernon, the true ruler of Cal Hab. Royal Cal Hab Regiment, its defences numerous and lethal. Arthurs seat, the highest natural point in the Big E and a dormant volcano considered as a possible site for a power tower station. Calton Hill sectors, luxy-flats for the rich. Royal Bank of Cal Hab. University of Big E, covering a large area of the city, famous for the Burke & Hare Medical Centre and the Napier School of Applied Cybernetics. Cal Hab National Gallery of Modern Art. One of the finest pieces currently on display is Shooey McFees magnificent life-size statue of Queen Betty, lovingly rendered in frozen haggis. Big E Hoverport. High Courts of the Judiciary and Office of the Sheriff.
Glascal
Glascal is the capital of Cal Hab, a mixture of the old and new, with many of its buildings dating back 500 years. Tourism forms a major part of Glascals income. Glascals landmarks include: River Clyde Docklands, a run-down district of the city once known for its shipbuilding facilities, now the haunt of smugglers and other less desirable members of society. Glascal International Hoverport, the largest in Cal Hab. Hogmanay Square, a vast public space where thousands of Cal Habbers flock every December 31st to drink in the New Year. Wallace Heights, a series of tenement cityblocks, preatomic ruins and public houses, a hive of anti-Brit-Cit sentiment and McWallace sympathisers. Wellpark Brewery, the most beloved of all Glascals buildings. High Court of the Judiciary, headquarters of the Glascal Justice Department and home of the Academy of Law.
The Big E
The second largest city in Cal Hab, sited on the edge of the Lothian rad-wastes and the seat of the satellite Brit-Cit government as well as the capital of the Borders Estate. The Big E is a city of academics and tourists, protected by an all-encompassing dome and anti-rad shields. Big E judges are confined to the poorer housing areas, the luxyblocks having private security. Famous locations within the Big E include:
101
Cal Hab Justice Department
Cal Hab judges are organised along lines similar to those of Brit-Cit judges. To prevent a recurrence of the social unrest of 2116, the Brit-Cit government has installed Brit-Cit judges to oversee the Cal Hab judiciary. In 2122, Chief-Inspector Carter called for any Cal Habborn judges currently serving in Brit-Cit to volunteer for service in Cal Hab to help rebuild the ranks. Chief Judge Montgomery Carter and Deputy Chief Judge Neville Thatcher, both former Brit-Cit judges, govern the Cal Hab Justice Department under the authority of Duke Algernon, Cal Habs Brit-Cit overlord. The beat judges are the largest complement of judges in Cal Hab. They patrol the hab-zones, pound the beat along the city streets and cobbled perimeter tracks, guard
the inter-hab meg-ways from wild Scottie and mutant attacks and clamp down on the whisky smuggling rings. Beat judges are divided into rookie and judge ranks (trooser and kilt); rookie judges wear uniform trousers during their probation, full judges wear the kilt. Cal Hab judges work from a station hoos under the command of a station sergeant. Station hooses may be purpose-built within one of the main hab-zones or be nothing more than a renovated storehouse or dance hall in one of the villages. Cal Hab judges receive 500 a week pay and are entitled to paid annual holidays. It is a sad fact that very few Cal Hab judges see retirement. A flaw in the generesequencing process that grants the judges extraordinary endurance also causes gradual cellular disruption in the later years of their lives. Judges thus afflicted find their health slowly degenerate to a point where they are forced to leave service.
102
Atlantis
Mid-way between Mega-City One and Brit-Cit lies six service plexes, the largest of which is Atlantis. A staging point for both commercial and passenger transports from the European mainland to the American megacities. Atlantis is home to nine million citizens, workers and support staff, and a hive for black market smugglers and racketeers who profit from the hapless law-abiding population. A small cadre of judges from Mega-City One and Brit-Cit keep the peace. Like the mythical city from which it took its name, Atlantis is a place of mystery and intrigue where anything can happen and the unexpected is just around the corner.
underwater sub-pens, wet launch and research facility. The upper mezzanine area of Atlantis is home to nine million citizens. It is divided into four compass points known as the Quarters. They surround a central hub called the Core. A ten-feet thick, transparent plasteen Viro-dome protects both the Core and the quarters from the worst ravages of undersea weather. Access tunnels run from the Quarters and the Core to the other service plexes below. Atlantis is secured to the Central Station by twenty-feet thick plasteen guidelines and anchored by thirty-five in-shore bore threads descending to the ocean floor. The Trans-Atlantic Tunnel rises from the seabed where it connects to Atlantis. Hotels, shops, docks, sub-pens and theatres surround the tunnel, in addition to a small Justice Department holding post. A tunnel runs directly from the upper mezzanine to Poseidon. A perimeter wall runs Atlantiss entire circumference. Aqua cannons the stations first line of defence, are mounted every one hundred. If the station is threatened by devastation, hammerhead missile silos are ready to take action, manned by G-chimps, genetically modified chimpanzees. If Atlantis should suffer extensive damage and is in danger of disintegrating, the upper mezzanine can be freed from its moorings, emptying its ballast tanks to float up to the surface where the inhabitants can be evacuated.
Geography
Atlantis is a way station, lay-by and staging point for goods bound from the European city-states to Mega-City One and beyond. It is located 715 nautical miles from Brit-Cit and 2300 nautical miles from Mega-City One. The TransAtlantic tunnel that spans the Black Atlantic and connects both mega-cities passes directly through Atlantis. The service plex is a three-tier construction. The largest tier stands just above sea level before sinking to the ocean bed a mile below the surface of the Black Atlantic. The lower tier is called Poseidon, the location of the Justice Departments

The Judges
Poseidon Southwest
Although there are over eight million citizens and workers on Atlantis and thousands pouring through its terminals every single day, the station only has a very small group of on-site judges. Following a break out attempt in early 2124 resulting in the deaths of all eight present duty judges and an increase in drug smuggling between Mega-City One and Brit-Cit, the justice complement was up scaled to fifty. These fifty permanent duty judges are known as Sea Watch. All justice personnel undertake a tour between six months and two years. Members of Sea Watch are trained in areas their street counterparts are not, including the detection of suspicious packages and anti-terrorist countermeasures, dealing with trade disputes and policing international waters. Many members of Sea Watch are judges with a natural flare for diplomacy and negotiation. When their term is up, judges wishing to return to the mainland go on to become high-ranking Sector House staff, or work in public relations departments. The judges of Poseidon support Sea Watch by patrolling the undersea shipping routes close to Atlantis and pursuing criminals that have escaped in small marine vehicle, bound for the surface. Members of Black Sky and Ocean Patrol have a base in one of the five Justice Department pens. If more resources are necessary, Mega-City One can despatch A-Wagons or iCON Wagons within forty minutes. Judges despatched via the Trans-Atlantic Tunnel can make the journey from Mega-City One to Atlantis in nine hours, while Brit-Cit judges can arrive in four.
Population: n/a Famous Landmarks: Docking Bays, Hammerhead Missile Tubes, Justice Department Research Facility, Wet-launch Tubes.
Brief: Poseidon is the judges only section of the station and is highly defended.
Government
Atlantis is a free-trade port of call for citizens the world over, jointly governed by Mega-City One and Brit-Cit, with commercial investment from the EuroCity government. The Trade Consortium, a business confederation comprised of Hampson and Hampson of Brit-Cit and Haynes Industries of Mega-City One have controlling interest in the stations day-to-day affairs.
Political Process
Due to the nature of the station and the way it is governed by large corporations, there is very little in the way of political process and agenda aboard Atlantis. All of the

The Justice Department Service Station
The Bell
The Justice Department Service Station is Sea Watchs permanent base of operations. From here communications with both Mega-City One and BritCit are maintained, warrants received and executed, and other legal issues dealt with. The Service Station is located in the Core, just a few hundred yards from the Central Station entrance. Though not as grand as a Sector House, the Service Station contains its own emergency services and backup facilities and is manned by fifty duty judges and a further two hundred civilian auxiliaries. Refer to the Law of the Sea chapter for more information regarding the Service Station.
The Atlantis oceanarium better known as the Bell is the best place to witness the strange and wonderful ocean dwelling life forms in their own environment. For ten credits, visitors get a one-hour tour around the underside of Atlantis in a protected observation bubble. Tours take place every hour between 7am and 9pm and every other hour afterwards. Citizens can thrill to the sight of the majestic schools of hunting ichthyosaurs, the majestic coral rays, or watch krillcatchers set out on an expedition. On rare occasions, a behemoth will come close to the station before the defences kick in and ward it off, a battle that attracts the largest number of voyeurs.
De Caprios
Currency
The main from of Atlantis currency is the MegaCity One credit, though credit x-change facilities are available for transferring one currency to another, for example to the credit to the pound, or to the eurocredit. Currently the pound is riding higher on the exchange worth 1.75 to 1.00 credit.
Home to some of the biggest parties to hit Atlantis and the place where more movies are premiered than anywhere else in the world. De Caprios is the place to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, dine with the powerful or just bathe in the glory of those more famous than you. Many citizens will stand outside of De Caprios for hours, hoping to get a glimpse of their heroes.
Landmarks and Locations

Atlantia
Swimming is one of the most popular pastimes on Atlantis and over 95% of the population can swim and regularly take a dip in one of the stations hundreds of pools and public baths. The largest and most popular of all is Atlantia, located in the southern quarter of the station and capable of holding over a thousand swimmers at a time. A relaxing way to spend the day, but the taps and dunks often work the uni-sex changing areas.
Haynes Industries Research Labs
Haynes Industries, located in the East Quarter, is one of the largest businesses based on Atlantis. Two thousand scientists work at converting seawater into a fuel source, medical research, oceanic mining, ore processing and deep-sea exploration. Haynes Industries foundations travel two hundred metres beneath Atlantis where its true nature is revealed: Haynes is a cover for the Hussain Mob, a weapons manufacturer and arms dealer smuggling its wares aboard research vessels. The illicit cargo is jettisoned along the seabed at pre-designated coordinates, later collected by the Mobs customers.
Atlantis Maritime Museum
A popular attraction with many tourists is the Atlantis Maritime Museum, an impressive building located in the west quarter. Tourists can learn about Atlantiss history and view some of the famous vessels built in its shipyards. The Maritime Museum is home to the Denizens of the Deep exhibition, where for a small entrance fee of five credits, visitors can view stuffed exhibits of some of the mutated creatures that can be found in the depths of the Black Atlantic from the humble toe nobbler to the colossal Behemoth.
Justice Department Holding Post
The Holding Post is a modest facility whose purpose is only apparent from the golden eagle sitting atop the main entrance. In early 2124, a botched attempt to free convicted organ-legger Felonious The Surgeon Sturgis and his chief enforcer Max Clatter resulted in the deaths of all the resident duty judges. The holding posts complement has been increased to eight judges and a sniffer dog nicknamed Rusty, in addition to twenty immigration judges stationed in Customs.

Trans-Atlantic Tunnel Control
Lovers Leap
Beneath the Tower, Trans-Atlantic Tunnel Control is responsible for the smooth flow of traffic between MegaCity One and Brit-Cit. Operational twenty-four hours a day, Tunnel Control can quickly deal with any emergency, despatching crisis teams to traffic accidents and zoom derailments. If the Trans-Atlantis Tunnel should be breached, Tunnel Control can seal off the offending section before floodwaters can cause further damage along the tunnels length.
Pier 67
Located in the western quarter, Pier 67 gained notoriety in early 2120 following the crash of the hyper-liner Quasar. The sea vessel crashed into Pier 67, causing the largest disaster Atlantis has ever faced. Over 11,000 passengers lost their lives in addition to 3,000 Atlantis natives.
The Tower
The Tower is Atlantiss tallest structure, piercing the protective Dome. It is lined with mega-band transceivers and satellite communication arrays. Four 20,000-terawattargon lamps project a constant beam along the cardinal compass points to warn shipping of Atlantiss presence. The Tower is completely automated, though human staff will be summoned should a malfunction develop.
Leaping season happens in Atlantis every March when lovers from many of the worlds mega-cities gather together to leap to their deaths in what is one of the most bizarre sights the station sees. Euthanasia and suicide are both legal practices in many of the megacities and as long as a citizen has signed in triplicate the right paperwork they are free to end their life in any way they see fit as long as it will not harm other citizens or cause damage to civil and Justice Department property. Each year thousands of depressed citizens make their way across the ocean to Atlantis and take part in masssuicides, by throwing themselves from one of the largest buildings on Atlantis into the dark and dangerous waters of the Black Atlantic almost a quarter of a mile below. If the fall from such a great height does not kill the citizen they need not worry as the pollution in the Black Atlantic more than likely will, or failing that they will meet a very grisly demise at the mercy of one of the many Megladons which gather each year in schools to fed on the leapers. Many citizens take their deaths very seriously and dress for the occasion, some sporting sponsorship deals from the corporate world, leaving a tidy sum for their loved ones, others wear fancy dress, often mimicking a well known Tri-D star of the time such as Benny from The Blockers or well known sports stars. Every Sunday during March is given over to lovers who wish to take the plunge. It is not unknown for would

be brides and grooms who have just been married, in an area of the Leap known as the Chapel, to jump hand in hand into the blackness, often followed by many of their wedding guests, all being cheered on by the hundreds of spectators who turn up to watch. Seeing a bride and groom cheerfully wave to the crowd, still dressed in their wedding regalia, and then throwing themselves into the abyss is very popular and often gets the spectators eager for more.
and materials are held in the Vault, a high security wing of the Justice Departments Poseidon complex, to be analysed or destroyed in large incinerators. One of the most common narcotics on Atlantis is Purple Haze, manufactured secretly in the labs of Haynes Industries. Purple Haze had travelled as far east as Mega-City One where it has claimed the lives of over a million citizens. Chump-dumping operations flourish in the Atlantis ports, the bodies of gullible citizens hoping for a new life elsewhere lured into airlocks where they are ejected out into the Black Atlantis and devoured by the sea monsters waiting outside. Atlantis is a major port and as such attracts thousands of sailors from all over the world. One of the biggest problems facing the judges of Sea Watch is that of prostitution and the sugar girls who work the many clubs and bars of the station often bring with them other problems. Sugar dealing and running is rampant in many of the clubs and the candee daddies who solicit the sugar girls also supply them with their sugar and push the sweet forbiddensubstance onto clubbers and vacationers. Other crimes such as petty theft go hand in hand with prostitution and the judges will often be lenient on the sugar girls, aiming instead to capture bigger fish such as the candee daddies who are often little more than tools for organised crime syndicates. Away from Atlantis, piracy and attacks on shipping lanes are a regular drain on the Justice Departments Black Sky and Ocean Patrol forces. Sea pirates operate from hidden sea fortresses or submersibles where they can make swift and deadly attacks upon the slow moving hydro- and solar-tankers before disappearing into the black depths to share the booty. Among the most notorious of all sea pirates are the pirates of the Caribbean, totally immoral, perpetually greedy and opportunistic.
Crime
Like the mega-cities that spawned its construction, Atlantis is blighted by crime. Its location makes Atlantis a prime centre for smuggling all manner of goods from non-GM tropical fruits to weapons, drugs and alien technologies. The port and dock warehouses offer many hiding holes for contraband, while the more daring smugglers attach their wares to the underside of buoys, awaiting a hasty pickup from their customers. All confiscated substances
